Fri Night Ride 5/10- Hard Core Duo Brave The Weather

Jon And Steve B (two days later!)

As Steve B turned up for the Friday Broadoak ride he thought for a while that he was the only one willing to come out after a day of miserable weather, but as it happened Jon had also turned up and was round the corner having sensed there was going to be a wide enough weather window to get back home before the next batch of the wet stuff. No-one else was brave enough to give it a go, not even Ivan who popped into my house for a chat and a cup of tea on the way home instead. Jon and Steve had made a good call and  apart from some road spray, had a dry ride. Steve pulled off at Westfield leaving Jon to make the ascent of Stonestile on his own. The road was full of some deep puddles and a tree had fallen across the road near the bottom but Jon make it OK to the top. Hopefully the council will have removed the tree by next Friday and the weather will be more settled allowing us thinner skinned mortals to return to Friday night riding?
