Out of 300 Chester women cyclists recently polled, only five owned a full set of waterproofs! (and one of them was making her Christmas list as we set off along the greenway!)
Five stalwart and tough ladies met in Kingsway. The Fabulous Five!
We rode to Walk Mill. It rained. We got wet. Actually, not too wet, as full waterproofs top to toe keeps out a lot of damp!

To pass the time I picked up a quiz from the counter, from Tarvin Community Centre (only £1)- but the first page we just looked at it! The first 'round' was The Knight before Christmas: Think and hear Sir?
Not a clue!
We managed one round, with an anagram from the first letter of each clue...then set off back to the Dee Miller for reinforcements!

Back to Chester we headed. Grand total of 14 miles!
At the pub, Kate was waiting for us. As was two large mulled wine slow cookers (there's a good idea!) tea and coffee, and shortly followed by two plates of mince pies/apple pies.
Diane and Carol joined us - and we put our heads together to finish the quiz. A lot of laughs later, crackers, several mulled wines and 100 questions later we had finished it! (my best round was the cracker jokes - What disease do you get from putting up too many Christmas decorations?)
Final selfie stick pose (just before Diane joined us!)
Merry Christmas to you all, and a happy new year. See you in 2016!
