Re: Sunday 3rd March 2025 at 9am- B Ride to Lavender Hall Fisheries

Just Noel and myself on the ride.
It was uneventful, and we were able to enjoy the clear skies and light winds. Thankfully there was virtually no ice and no more road flooding than has been the norm this year.
Thanks for the company Noel.

So much for weather forecasts: it startled to drizzle fairly soon after we started, then we had light rain too on the outward leg. Si had a **flat** on his new bike.
