“What – only five bikes out on a glorious day like today!” sparked the discussion. “Rail strikes, buses not running, holidays, building human powered torpedoes, family triathlons, cricket and maybe a bit of Omicron Mark II” were all advanced as possible explanations. “Quality not quantity”, concluded Aisha. No-one disagreed.
All five bikes powered up the full length of the Greenway to Low Moor, before a gravity assisted return to the cafe.
To borrow Wallace’s catch-all word to capture a truly grand morning: “Splendid”.
Beautiful day for a bicycle ride for 2! Bit of a headwind on the way back but it was great to be out.
