Our members were not well prepared for the weather today - Callum only had fingerless gloves and Lawrence had no gloves at all! We set off with the intention of going to Holne, but by the time we reached Hockmoor Head both lads had convinced themselves that they would never warm up despite Michael's assurances to the contrary. Well actually Lawrence was almost convinced, but he tactfully kept that view to himself until we had started homewards.

On the way home we rode the track through Hillah Wood that comes out on the Hapstead rode. We then drove to Ashmoor leisure for a session of badminton where Ash, who was late again, met us at 12.30.
