After my wedding last weekend and all week on honeymoon i was looking forward to a nice easy ride! It never works out like that does it.4 Thorpers turned up Me ,Martyn, phil J, and Craig N and we set off  on the wheels of 6 Sowerby club riders who helped to  protect us from the head wind but made us work hard with a brisk pace (the idea of a easy ride now long gone). We stayed in that formation all the way out to Todmorton where we peeled off left and started heading for Hollingworth Lake which soon arrived in under one and a half hours. Fully refuelled off we set again heading for home up Blackstone Edge but now with the wind behind us, which made it much easier to keep the pace high. Another excellent Autumn club run, who needs a British summer..51 miles.. Average speed 17.4mph
