Risley to Bramley - 25 miles

With just a slight variation at the start cycling via Bull Lane, we repeated this ride we did last in September. A lovely route, although after loads of recent rain , a bit messy on the lanes today.

A good turnout with Stephanie leading, assisted by Susie. Carole came along as a rider (not a leader) for the first time.

The route

We all met at Risley Village Hall. Everyone drove apart from Ravinder who cycled from home. Well done Ravinder!


Susie almost ready

Carol and Linda doing some technical stuff 

Just waiting for the last few to arrive


It was  a cold start, and never did brighten up until about 10 mins from the end. 


The sun is JUST about visible behind this tree, but very stubborn cloud persisted
Roadblock.... not for the first time today

Taking over Brambley Village shop


Another roadblock, but fortunately passably.




At the top of Laundry Lane. Always a bit of a slog.


Good to be out as ever. Building work underway at home, so good to escape all the noise of disc cutters!
