Delamere 17 Jan
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA bright but chilly morning saw 8 of us set off from the station cafe after tea and coffee.

Sunday 23rd November 2008
Reading Time: 2 minutesOn waking up to pouring rain I nearly opted out of today’s run: but I’m glad I didn’t, we had a great ride. A fairly tortuous decision-making process at the start resolved itself with Martin leading one group going to Two Mills (the planned route to Loggerheads was deemed over-ambitious given the wind and rain) […]
