A sunny August morning saw Maurice leading the peloton out of Balsham and over the Cambridgeshire border into East Suffolk where, this being harvest-time, each rise in the road opened up vistas of golden fields dotted with hay bales and bounded by dusty hedgerows. What a delightful part of the world.
Along the way we pulled in at Café 33, ever popular with motorcyclists, cyclists and prison visitors, for coffee, cake and ice cream.
Returning to The Black Bull, we enjoyed a hearty lunch on the patio and free beer (hooray!) courtesy of Ric, this week’s birthday boy.
For the record the turnout was: Alan, Brian, Geoff, Graham, Jeremy, Keith, Ken, Mark, Maurice, Nigel, Ric, Rod and Simon.
