A fine Thursday morning saw Maurice lead a gang of fourteen Windmillers out of Braughing, heading for the Silver Leys Polo Club, some 17 miles distant. Nigh on two years since our last visit to the club, we were warmly welcomed despite past misdemeanours, notably Charles’ odd sock shocker and Simon spooking the horses.
Glad to say, this time around Charles was impeccably attired, Simon restrained his animal spirits and we had a jolly time enjoying good coffee and some particularly delicious cake.
We took the return leg, some 13 miles via Much Hadham, Barwick and Puckeridge, at a fair old clip, arriving back at The Golden Fleece in good time for lunch. And Alan, this week’s birthday boy, generously bought us all a beer. Many happy returns, Alan!
For the record, the peloton comprised Maurice, Keith, Howard, Graham, Victor, Iain, Simon, Hazel, MartinB, Alan, Roger, Jeremy, Ric and Brian.
Thanks go to Maurice for organising the ride and arranging the polo club visit.
