  • Wednesday 26th September 2018 A beautiful sunny early autumn day saw an excellent turnout. Paul, Jill, Anne, David, Rob, Patrick, John, Phil, Rosalind and Lawrie decided on a shorter ride and headed south.

The remaining riders headed across the Soar to Barrow and then on up Melton Road and Paudy Lane towards Six Hills, turning south west into Berrycott Lane riding downhill ;but into the wind with good view to either side into Seagrave. The riders passed Seagrave Primary School where the childrens play time was drawn to an end by the bell monitor ringing vigorously before descending to Sileby to take refreshments at the Green Place ...
