As nobody else has put comment on the ride last Sunday I thought I had better or Chris J won't have anything to glean for TUG. Well in spite of the dreadful forecast it went really well and was enjoyed by all 7 riders. It wasn't raining when we left Chelmsford and stayed dry - well not the roads - until after the Tea stop at Sandy. It then rained but not too heavy until lunch at Oundle where we found some lovely flooded roads! After lunch it was fine all the way home so that from St Neots on the roads were actually drying off. Unfortunately John had a puncture in the rear near Thrapston which was soon plugged by the able team around him. Thanks for turning out guys it would have been lonely on my own!

Many thanks to Spider for back marking on the way out and to John (the puncture) on the way back....................................Richard

Thanks for the info, Richard, I was in France at the time. Spider kindly sent me a ride review, with pictures, to my mobile. His account is a little more ... dramatic ... than yours!
