Never judge a book by its cover; nor a ride by the number of bikes.
There may have only been four tandems (and a solo) but, cards on the table, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day out. Not only did we all keep together, (as in no regrouping stops), but the pace was brisker than most of our outings. All bikes mastered Grindleton Bank’s 16% gradient and the ride was all over too soon. But not before partaking of refreshments at Bowland Bikes Cafe (formerly The Green Jersey.)
Two memories from the day. Judith disciplined herself to a single Bacon Buttie (she must have had a full English beforehand) and Elisa’s performance. Paired with Nicola, she was amazing – confessing on the way home she really had set her mind to conquering what is one of the harder rides on our schedule. Well done Elisa.
