Cycling in the Sun ... Must be Mad Englishwomen!!


Saturday saw the first ever Weekend event for Women on Wheels members.  There were two organised rides around the Lenches, a 'Steady' (23 miles) and a longer, faster ride (35 miles). Here we all are ready to set off from Hilary's field, minus Nikki who took the photograph.

Have we got a plan?

Almost ready to set off …. we think

Faster Group ready for the off

It was awfully hot and the 'Steady' group managed the full 23.5 miles.  Unfortunately the faster group only managed 25 miles, with a much longer overall time as they lingered longer than anticipated when they stopped off to take on water(?) at a pub on the route.

There was cake and tea when we returned to the field and some stayed for a barbeque and entertainment in the evening with the prospect of even longer rides today.

Camper vans provided hot water for tea
