Clear skies and bright sunshine generated an exceptional turnout this Sunday, with over forty riders showing up at the Square. As usual, we divided into a number of manageable groups, chosen roughly on the basis of riding speed. Many enjoyed a good ride north, despite the chill wind, to the Faun cafe in Malvern where they liked the cakes and complimentary blankets that let them keep warm outside. This led to comparisons with Clint Eastwood and friends (perhaps, the Good the Bad, and the Ugly?), seen here enjoying the cafe on a cold February morning.

The President suffered from a navigational error after taking a short cut through the Wyche Cutting and failed to make the rendezvous in Great Malvern. He enjoyed instead the opportunity to take coffee in Wellan and sit in the sun to enjoy the apricity.

Other rides went to Stanway and Tewkesbury.
