Eight Tandems and two solo riders set off from storage to ride up to Low Moor train station before returning to the Sunflower Pot Caf\u00e9 for some refuelling and our usual warm welcome from Hayley, the owner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was good to see them back with us and enjoying the excellent riding conditions, with lots of warm sunshine and a light breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
