A challenging ride yesterday. We had seven, and then we had four!! Some cancellations due to illness and maybe one or two that know how to read a weather forecast... baaahahahahaha

Stephen, Alan, Iain and garry took off from Uxbridge in ominously cloudy skys - interestingly, it was totally blue and no clouds at 8am. Sure enough it started raining lightly after Black Park and to Burnham Beeches. We sat down for a nice coffee in the outdoor shelter area, and then witnessed rain of biblical / armageddon proportions!!?? The decision was taken to miss Maidenhead and shoot for home.

Considering we all donned every rain coat and poncho we were carring, it was only a drizzle back to Uxbridge - go figure. We stopped at The General Elliot on the Grand Union Canal below Uxbridge for a very nice lunch. The rain hammered down again, vindicating the homeward decision.

Thanks guys for a short but fun ride.
