Anniversary Social Run
Photo at the start of the Anniversary Social Run. Sunday 7th December. Six riders Graham Espin, Stuart Bell, Brian Smith, Mike Carruthers, Paul Feldon & Dave Walker - (taking the photo)
After much discussion the destination was the Yorkshire cycle hub - Fryup.
Weather was good at the start, later on as we set off back - Rain. Some had to take shelter in the Bluebell at Bishopton. About 80miles total.
