Sub-zero when I left the house at 9am. The other 3 were running a few minutes late so challenging to keep warm at the meeting point.
Having just dusted off my bike and pumped the tyres up I realised that it was the first outing since September 2009 - this could be painful!
Mark, Ian and Darren turned up and we headed off towards the trough of Bowland - to Chipping then looped back & up through Oakenclough (I struggled on anything remotely hilly). The guys know a great private farm road which was 3 or 4 miles and absolutely stunning scenery.
Scorton cafe was a welcome relief (teacake and tea) then a steady ride back home.
Ride #1: 38 miles, cumulative 38 miles
Remaining against 500 mile target: 462 miles
