| The Eerie Figure Of Paul Appears On Battery Hill! |
With such terrible and dangerous weekend weather forecast (sunday club ride has been cancelled due to ice risk) myself and Simon G were expecting a high turnout for the Friday night ride with its windless dry weather, so we were disappointed that only five riders turned up. With such a small group we all set off together down 'Battery Hill ' , half way down there was a large round bright white light shining on the other side of the road, this could only be one person; Baxter was back! Paul B has come out of his seven week hibernation and is back in full cycle mode, having ridden four times this week already. Peter B cant ride at the weekend so was making the most of the Friday ride and was pushing the pace out at the front while myself and Paul were happy just to ride up the Broad Oak drag at a steady pace. Good safe descending on dry roads through Brede and Westfield brought us out on the Stonestile approach. Peter now paid the price for his earlier efforts and began to fade somewhat but a fluffed gear change by me enabled him to to come past me on the ascent leaving me with just Diego for company. Diego was struggling on the climb a lot more than normal, this is the price you pay for not doing the Friday night ride for some weeks!
