Clubruns 23rd March

At 08:30 it was bright & sunny.  At 09:30 it wasn't.  Yet over 30 turned up at Ware despite the rain and the promise of poor weather.  And it was certainly a morning for poor weather.  Seventeen rode the easy, eleven the med and four or five the faster med.  The magnificent seventeen had to sort three punctures all within a few yards of each other.  The slightly short of a dozen meds, just the one.  However it wasn't the one puncture that was the problem.  As they left the cafe there was a blinding flash and a crash of thunder.  Eschewing the sensible option of a return back inside they tried to race the storm back.  The storm though, had other thoughts and what followed was a cold, painful 10 minutes being bombarded by hail.  Then it got really cold.  Then another hailstorm.  And then the sun had the cheek to stick its head out!  Many newbies today.  Hope to see them again.
