The M6 recreational cyclists left the village hall at 1:30pm on a sunny 6c afternoon. This had been advertised as a local ride, approximately 15 miles, undulating, leisurely pace, and planned to be back in the village for 3.30pm.

The selected route was an M7 favourite; Deppers Bridge, Bishop’s Itchington, Hambridge Lane, Knightcote, Salt Way, Thwaites. It was a planned as a leisurely end to the M7 training weekend, and we all enjoyed the afternoon sunshine. One of the M6, expecting it to be rather cold, had somewhat overdone the number of layers and treated Bishop’s Itchington to a cycling tease.

On the return journey through Thwaites, the Routemaster decided that the M6 had not completed sufficient miles or undulations, so added an extra loop via Kingston Manor Farm. Two of the M6 complained about the extra loop, and are to be summoned to an M7 disciplinary hearing charged with unladylike behaviour.

A fine afternoon’s ride, excellent company, and a pleasurable end to the M7 training weekend.

Doug.
