This would ordinarily be a track session to help induction new members and build existing members confidence on the tandem, but it was not required this month, so we made a new plan!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was an extra helping of the SVGW, but as the heavens opened and we assembled at our headquarters in Mirfield, thoughts were of postponing, or at least cutting the ride short<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sky had brightened a little by departure time and as we were ready with 5 tandem crews and a solo rider, we decided to press on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


We needn\u2019t have worried, the rain was light and once on the Greenway we had all warmed up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were particularly pleased to find that the resurfacing from Liversedge to Cleckheaton had been completed and today was the grand opening by The Walk, Wheel, Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our crews even had their photos taken for the publicity shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Low Moor was under another rain cloud but our spirits weren\u2019t dampened, even if our feet were!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Low Moor, a fallen tree arched across our path presenting an unexpected hazard. It was helpfully marked by our ride leader and duly reported to WWRT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pair of mounted Trekkers paused on the path, viewing the fallen tree bough, which perfectly arches from one side of the path to the other.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am sure that Hayley was as pleased to see us at the Sun Flower Pot caf\u00e9, as much as we were to be there in relative warmth and dryness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were joined by fellow Trekker, Barney, carrying out important cycle helmet research, at the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The constant chatter and laughter was a delight to hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The sun finally emerged to welcome us home to our HQ, glad that we all made the effort despite the gloomy forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
