Maybe it was because it was the bank holiday weekend, but this week only four tandems embarked on the delightful journey from Boroughbridge, navigating a loop via the Aldwark toll bridge on quiet country lanes. Despite the somewhat gloomy weather forecast, we managed to stay dry throughout the trip. The ride was fairly smooth, with only a couple of wrong turns. These deviations did not put a damper on our spirits, and we achieved exactly the advertised 25 mile distance and a modest elevation of under 200 metres.
No other mishaps occurred, and once our cycles were safely on the trailer once more, we concluded our adventure with a pleasant lunch in the garden of Gilchrist’s Tearooms, located on Boroughbridge High Street, allowing us to relax and share stories from our ride. A perfect end to another successful and enjoyable outing for the Tandem Trekkers.
