Brilliant weather, lots of warm sunny intervals but a little windy at times.

All was going to plan until we lost poor Lucas at a major roundabout. We find out later that whilst trying to find us, he also had a terminal mechanical.

The whole group pulled together, markers doing their duty and others regrouping and then waiting a while for me. I had gone off in search of what I thought was an 'off' but eventually got back to the rest.

Lunch was brilliant and the route diverse and interesting. Will do again. I cut this one several miles short and abandoned the second leg-stretch as we were running late and some peeps had a long way to go from the bridge.

All in all a successful jaunt, lessons learned, relationships made...here's to the next one.

Thanks all, especially LT for leading from Trowbridge and back-marking the main ride.
