Thursday Social Ride – Woodend – 27th July 2017

4 riders turned up this morning for today’s ride. Conditions were very cold with a strong North Wind blowing.

Good to see Bruce back riding with us again after his overseas working gig. Today was his first road bike ride in over 12 months. We rode a 38km shortened version of our normal Thursday ride cutting out Chases Lane Loop. Conditions made the first part of the ride a struggle into the wind however we enjoyed a good tail wind back to Woodend.

Once back at the cafe it was good to enjoy the warmth, company and refreshments before  heading home.

Sunday Social Ride – Kyneton – 23rd July 2017

19 riders assembled in Kyneton this morning for today’s ride. Conditions were cold with overcast skies and only a light breeze.

8 riders rode the longer route and the remaining 11 rode the medium route. One rider on the longer ride dropped back to ride with the medium group. We also had 2 stragglers who were late arriving and they rode a modified version of the longer ride. Conditions during the ride remained the same as at the start. An enjoyable time was had by all members participating. Our newer members who had not ridden today’s route before coped well with the extra amount of climbing than the previous rides they had been on.

After the ride all members were together at the cafe for warm drinks and the usual chatter. We all headed homeward after enjoying the company.

Thursday Social Ride – Woodend – 20th July 2017

2 riders turned up this morning for today’s ride. The weather conditions were very cold, strong southerly wind blowing and rain threatening. The skies started to clear but I decided not to ride and Mark went for a ride on his own.

After I returned home the sun began to shine so I went out then and completed the ride with only a small shower during the ride.
