sunday report

They do say proper planning prevents piss poor performance, and for me rolling in sunday morning at 4 pissed wasn”t quite the correct way to  prepare myself for the hills to come, but the thought at seeing all those mudgaurds dragged me out of bed.   And so at the meet Paul B, Lewis, Martyn, Mike K, Nick S, Sky John, Ben [yes its been 4 months]  and me set of for wigfield farm looking like a proper club on its first winter run.  Two missing were mad John and Jonny Dyson,  our mate Mad j surely nursing a painfull tat and jonny who has been found moonlighting in the stores at work.  And so of we went into the fog southwards, as we got to the point near mamas and papas we did a little split with Ben and i turning off  taking the back road to Farnley tyas to do the hilly way and the rest taking the main road route.  Once we got close to the windmills the sun broke through the cold mist we had had, but as we hit the main road for thurgoland it came down  again and thats how it stayed all day.  Getting to the cafe we all met up again and for the record beans on toast with an egg.  Home was taken via Dodworth and west bretton on what were now very slippery roads, not good but we all got home with no mishaps.  Unsure of the mileage, can anyone help with that?   Next week is Boston spa to a very nice little cafe run by 2 lads from Italy,  the menu doesn”t have beans on toast on it so be prepared for something different.[Bloody nice coffees though] .  The route will be via Birstal, tong, headingley, wike and collingham.  If its full at the cafe we can drop into tadcaster.
