Nov 2- Friday Night ride- Josef returns

Josef- First Friday Night ride This Season

Jon S With Moon behind

Good turnout for a Friday Broad Oak with seven riders at the Fairlight lodge, this included Josef who we haven't see for quite a while. Just as we were heading off down the hill the familiar figure of Paul B appeared, this made it a record equalling eight riders. We took it easy down Battery hill as the road was still wet from all the rain during the day. Weather was cold but there was little wind and there was plenty of moonlight to help see the road. Paul had a puncture halfway across the nature reserve, giving me time to take a picture of Jon with the moon behind him. The rest of the ride proceeded as normal with myself and Josef last to arrive at Broad Oak, Josef has done little cycling lately and has lost some fitness, hopefully he will become a regular again? On finishing the ride, myself, Ivan and Josef retired to the White heart for a well deserved couple of drinks. By the time we left the temperature had dropped right down to just above freezing and our teeth were chattering for the ride back down into Ore.
