5/10 HSLCC 9:00 Club Ride- Horam

Free Advertising For The Harrow Stores!
For the first time in ages it actually felt cold riding up to the Harrow, winter is approaching but with lovely blue skies fine autumnal weather was promised. I was looking to relaxing and letting Chris P lead the ride but Chris had text me for help leading the ride as he has a cold and didn't feel confident of being able to lead the ride. I wanted a group photo outside the Harrow blog as our facebook 'event' page for a 9:00 Club ride but the sun was facing the wrong way so we had to settle for a group photo outside the harrow store instead, much to the amusement of the shopkeeper! Chris wasn't feeling good and so decided he would ride home and drive up to the Horam cafe to meet us  later. As I had only put the gpx out to everyone the night before, nobody had loaded it onto their GPS but fortunately kevin knew the route off by heart so we were able to lead the group out to the Horam Lakeside cafe between us. This cafe is becoming something of a mecca for cyclists with lots of other cyclists from the area already there enjoying the warm sunshine. The ride home proceeded without any punctures or incidents.
Held Up For The Train!
At one point we had to overtake a group of cyclists only for us to realise that some of them were our our friends including Gary and Peter C. We all really enjoyed today's club ride especially Derek who found the pace just right. He thought the pace was a bit slower than usual but I assured him, this wasn't the case, he was just riding well and back to his old self.
