Indeed, solos are always a welcome addition to any ride. The ability to mark junctions and generally manoeuvre more fluidly, a much appreciated bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making the most of a dry, and surprisingly mild November morning, we were joined by Rick and Stuart, two new pilots on their first non-track ride. Another bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the final bonus mention of the day goes to the ever smiling Hayley at the Flower Pot. How she managed to serve us all so efficiently &#8211; and not get flustered &#8211; amazing!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
