A mild morning saw 13 riders set off from the Triangle on a nice lumpy route The group kept together fairly well until a gravelly muddy lane with potholes fetched one of the riders off. Cuts and grazes and a broken brake lever meant it was the end of the ride for this rider. The group carried on only for a few chain offs and a snapped chain which was soon repaired. On the way back an impatient driver brushed past the group on a narrow lane and caught a riders arm nearly pushing them off. A puncture for a rider near the end sealed the day. Apart from the incidents this was a great social ride today.
