Saturday 16 March dawned grey and wet with forecast likewise. Fabulous women know that if they don’t want to go out in the rain, they don’t have to. They also know that waterproofs are pretty effective these days. Two of us took the waterproof option. Regular riders will know we have a flexible approach to routes and destinations, and today we decided to flex in the direction of a short ride and a long coffee stop. Our traditional wet weather destination is Notcutts, but even that seemed a bit far, so the special feature of this ride was a new 5MTF coffee stop, and as the leader had not been before, another special feature was a led leader.
The atmospheric photograph of our waterproofs dripping on the balcony at Dunelm Mill did not come out very well, so you will just have to imagine our enjoyment of hot drinks and colourful house wares. It was not raining quite so hard for the return , so we took the indirect route via Oaklands College and Jersey Lane.
We hope for better weather on 6th April.
