John, George, Jude and Dillan came here for the cycle ride by 10.30. We had a chat in the lounge about the Norway tour, which starts on Tuesday, then left at around 11am. John had a headache and we all needed to prepare for Norway, so we didn’t plan to go too far.

We rode to Peartree, where John bought some paracetamol tablets for his headache, then continued up Chuley Hill. We turned left at Parkfield Cross, then followed the lanes around past the end of the Beaston track and through a very deep pool of water to the Hill House café at Landscove for 12.23. We had top quality cakes there with just water to drink, the rode home the short route for 2.13.

George and Jude came up for games with Dillan while I did some tour preparation. They left at around 4.20.
