It was Graham’s turn to lead the outing and, given the large turnout of 15 riders, he very reasonably asked that we form two equal-sized groups. How hard can that be? A seemingly impossible task for Windmillers, we ended up with one group of five and another of ten. Nice try, Graham.
Setting off from The Three Horseshoes at Hinxworth, Graham led us over the border into Bedfordshire for a 30-odd mile loop around Biggleswade. Fine weather, beautiful countryside and quiet roads made for a very enjoyable outing, the only hairy bit being the hundred yard stretch along the pavement bordering the busy A1 at Sandy.
Mid-way we pulled in at The Cowshed Café in Northill for coffee and cake. Our first visit and certainly not our last, it’s a lovely place that works really hard to attract passing cyclists.
For the record the turnout was: Alan, Andrew, Brian, Charles, Deborah, Gareth, Graham, Howard, Ken, Keith, MartinB, Maurice, Ric, Rod and Roger.
Our thanks go to Graham for planning and leading an excellent outing.
