The morning started off ok weather wise but the nearer it got to start time the worse it got and we actually had some quite heavy rain at times. A phone call to Brian and we both decided that we were going regardless.
I left home in some very light spits and made my way over to Feilding where I met up with Brian and his niece for a quick bite before the ride started. The uncertain weather certainly had an effect on numbers with probably only 25 riders turning up - two Santas though...
After a few spits while we waited, the weather actually improved for the ride and although we had wet roads the rain pretty much stayed away. The route took us on a bit of a loop out through Halcombe, Stanway, Colyton and Ashhurst before taking us back into Palmy where we handed our toys over - sadly no badge this year :(
Glad the rain stayed away for the ride. Best for it to rain before and after.
ReplyDeleteNo badges? That makes for a sad Santa.
Yeah, no #12 to add to the collection :(
