Not the longest route we do as a group, but very varied and pretty particularly through the Blackwater Valley. Definitely one for hybrids or offroad bikes. Temperature about 12 degrees colder than my Sunday right, so back into winter layers today.
The Route is pretty much there are back, with a tiny detour on the way back, which I have not plotted.
Chris led the way today assisted by Susie, and our team were.....
Vanessa, Ida, Linda B, Carol, Daphne, Juliette, Hazel (the other Hazel!), Barbara, Liliana and me.

Finally back to Wellington College and the pristine cricket grounds |
Got back JUST in time before the rain came, followed later by hail stones. 4 degrees today. Not warm for April.
