Cat 6 run led by Bob
A really enjoyable ride in decent weather to the Village Tearoom, Hatfield Heath, where, thanks to meticulous planning by leader Captain Bob, seats had been reserved and extra crew employed to cope with the predicted rush. After a noisy interlude and profuse apologies for the disturbance to a table of smartly dressed pensioners we enjoyed a trouble free tailwind assisted return to Ware. 15 riders

Nick pipped Karl for top spot. Paul S knocked 3 minutes off his time from last year.

Cat 6 ride led by Mike
A stubborn chill persisted all the ride from Ware to Bunters and back, via Barwick Ford & Great Munden out and Furneaux Pelham, Braughing & Barwick Ford on the return. At the stop the group of 16 split between the two cafes, depending on their preference for solid British fare and sophisticated continental patisserie. There were no incidents, mechanicals nor sightings of rheas. The sun finally appeared when riders were home, showered and settled in front of the TV watching repeats of Hi De Hi and Ever Decreasing Circles. 16 riders

Cat 5 ride led by Cathy
12 riders in total. Bruno decided to take a short cut to the café and Barry accompanied him.  Paul also left early. The remaining 9 of us went to the café, most to the ride against strong cold north-easterly wind.   After lunch, we lost Sara, Patrick and Mark.  Lesley too went home as she wanted to check on her new dog, so that left 6 of us.   Eventually, Wendy peeled off and then John took the old A10 back in order to avoid Barwick Ford, leaving 4 of us. No punctures or other events.

Cat 3 ride led by Ian P
A very pleasant ride out from Ware to the pop-up cafe in Great Chishill (just outside Royston).
 
Well I say cafe but it was actually the front room of a very nice bungalow next to the church. From May onwards the cafe is actually the church but out of season it is volunteers’ front rooms!
 
Friendly welcome, quick service, fresh homemade soup and cake and excellent price...what's not to love!!

First Ladies Ride led by Emma
6 ladies departed from Senova cycles for a steady ride out to Church Farm. A gentle breeze kept the pace good on a rather chilly icy morning. Cake and laughter filled Church farms summer house and new cycling buddies were made. The wind was not our friend on the way back but we battled on to beat the rain. An enjoyable cycle had by all- and the best bit-puncture free!!!

Cat 6 ride led by Bob

One puncture at Braughing. Took so long to fix that the 9 who buggered off and left him to it had finished at the café in Puckerkidge by the time the victim and his three friends got there!  32 miles

Mike led the Cat 6 run: " A group of 15 that used to be the easies - how times were so much simpler then, before we just became a number - meandered to and from Bishops Stortford, enjoying a short but calorie filled sojourn at the Mocha Cafe. The Gatorskins behaved themselves today, and there were no mechanicals. A minor collision between two members unseated one, but there was no lasting damage. Great to have Lee back cycling again after his recent misfortunes. "
