An excellent turnout heralded the start of a brilliant ride on a beautiful day today. The group left Winlaton Mill at 9.30 and pedalled steadily upwards on onwards along the Derwent Walk and Waskerley Way for a welcome lunch stop at the Parkhead Cafe Crawleyside, growing as it went as old friends and ex clubmates joined in – some to plan, some ad hoc!

After lunch some riders returned by the same (downhill!) route to their cars or homes, whilst others took the road route home, depending on where they live. A thoroughly enjoyable day out for all.

It was an extremely social day with several new members getting to know the old hands a bit better, and no-one was left behind or left out. Look out for the next such event, which will go alongside the usual diet of Sunday road club runs, and may be the first outing for the club’s new 12 bike trailer. Kielder anybody?
