Stamford Bridge – 12 Oct 24

Billed as an 18 mile route, today’s ride around Stamford Bridge was, indeed, 18 miles. But it wasn’t on the planned roads. Inclement weather meant the short off-road section was impassable to all but ducks and submarines.

Before setting off we’d guessed that the off-road section would be off-TT-limits. We weren’t wrong.

Fortunately pilot Mark, a long time resident of Stamford Bridge, was able to redirect us on previously risk assessed/ridden routes.

A great discovery at the end of the ride was The Cafe at No 10. Loads of seating, tasty fare and  cafe crack by the bucket load  – courtesy of Team Trekkers.

In the words of one of our longest-suffering (sorry, longest-serving) members, Martin “Another camaraderie-infused outing.”
