With her trademark cry of "Keep up you men" Margaret set off on her long ride followed by a confident Lisa and six apprehensive male Loiterers. The weather looked like it could go either way but at the speed of sound we soon arrived at the morning stop quite dry (except for the sweat). There we were joined by Ann and Dave B. Following a short break we headed off to lunch but after a few miles Dave B pulled out as he couldn't cope with the pace and was fearful of being shot. Transpired he had a bike problem or so he subsequently claimed on Facebook. An excellent lunch was had at the Unicorn but on leaving it did start to drizzle. Crossing Croxley Common Moor was probably a bad call as it was very waterlogged and muddy plus Noel picked up a puncture there. Following tea at Rickmansworth GC we headed back to Uxbridge dispersing on the way.
Another enjoyable calorie burning ride with the inimitable Margaret, a legend in her own time.
