Club run reports - 26th November

Category 6 ride led by Mike East

Just over a month from now members will be opening the cyclist’s alternative to socks - a gift of inner tubes.  With a bit of luck you end up with the right size! Before that joyous occasion we have a month of build up, starting on Friday with opening the first window of our advent calendars. Expensive adult ones are apparently the latest craze. And I thought the days of advent calendars were numbered.

A group of eleven Wheelers headed off in the cold, with the wind behind us, to Cammas Hall Fruit Farm. It was quite different from recent visits - fresh strawberries were off, the pumpkins all sold and there were no wind-chime-tolerant yummy mummies out with Tarquin and Olivia. In the café it was Cyclist City, as North Road had sent a group there too. Good food and service. Did not see any naff calendars though.

The way back was tougher against the wind. At Hatfield Heath, Leigh punctured – perhaps he will be pleased with those tubes on the 25 ^th December. 37 miles.

PS 
The ride leader is somewhat discombobulated at being addressed by some riders today as "Captain". Which captain are they referring to? Haddock? Mainwaring? Pugwash?
