Five hardy Fast Riders turned up at the Square for a planned route to Wotton under Edge. It was obvious that with the conditions they were this morning, the numbers were going to be low .
We set off towards Dursley via Frocester and by the time we reached Cam, it was agreed to shorten the route due to the weather. So we turned off at Stinchcombe and headed towards Berkeley on the A38, then the main route back towards Gloucester, finally turning down the lanes towards Frampton, Longney, Epney and finishing at the Roastery for a welcome hot coffee and cake.
40 miles in those conditions were plenty.
It was unfortunate for the ride leader to discover a puncture after cafe stop. We did hear a bang in the cafe, but was unaware it was one of the bikes with a faulty tyre.
