I had been fighting with razor blades in my throat through
Friday night, and on Saturday, much to my annoyance the pain persisted. I came to the café (after a brief warning
Friday night on facebook that I was not well) to meet all and dish out sign in
sheets. We were lucky to have 5-6
leaders, three with routes not dissimilar to mine, and I was able to send them
off with a wave and a photo. Alex did
the ‘talky bit’ (with me prompting) – she said she was more nervous than she is
in front of a bunch of schoolchildren! (and she is a teacher!)
So, I rely on the facebook comments of the ride, and photos
thereon.
Ruth says:
Saturday ride. Friendly chatter at
Kingsway....
Three groups....
Dry but cold! Despite 4 layers and
three pairs of gloves, I was still cold...the warmth of the cafe at Delamere
station was very welcome!
Safely led and guided by Welna, we
were a group of ?9 to the cafe... Cycling along I thought to myself I
really need to do more rides east of Chester as I didn't know the lanes so
well! Maybe this summer - but it's rapidly filling up. I thought retirement was
meant to be peaceful and quiet, far from it.
Four of us returned to the Dee Miller
and home in time for Wales v Ireland!!
Take care and maybe see you at the
spring 50! That will certainly be a test and challenge for me as Saturday was
my first or second ride out since Dec 25th...and no time to get much of a ride
in before the day!
from facebook....
Thanks to Alex for leading the ride to Delamere Stn Cafe . Hope you're feeling better Sue Booth
