The BB's Club tops have arrived!

We're pink ......and can be seen from the moon!!

We all were proud to wear our lovely new tops, but there were two Belles (who were relegated to the back of these two pics) who wouldn't wear their nice new tops - apparently holding back until our 1st Birthday Ride on August 21! 

As you see, they were both upset about being kept in the background!

Doreen being confronted by one of the drivers in Goodwood asking why she wasn't in pink as with the rest of the group? She didn't really have an answer.

We set off in our bright and brand new tops from Goodwood Hotel, there was a classic car rally starting from Goodwood at the same time and I think aiming to get to Outer Mongolia??

Cycling up New Barn lane, turning right at the cross roads, we headed towards Upwaltham, down Duncton Hill, which was a bit of a thrill with all that free cycling, we stopped in the village for a drink, Claire had been bitten by something, I think a bit of Savlon may have helped the sting.

Heading towards Heyshott passing through some beautiful countryside.

A curious rooftop sculpture, looks like a dragon and his slayer perhaps?

Making our way towards the lovely cafe in Cocking - Moonlight Cottage. Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, lovely sandwiches, superb cake and cups of tea and coffee to prepare ourselves for the Cocking Hill, which actually was a lot easier this time around. Claire told us we had used up over 1,000 calories so far - excellent, no guilt about eating that cake then....

Charlton Hill - geting easier also!

Now the easy bit...cycling down Kennel Hill and towards the start of the ride in Goodwood. Reached home at about 2.15pm - 35 miles cycled and over 1,000 calories used up....very good day!

Thanks to everyone for coming out...Doreen, her sister Angela, Claire, Karen, Caroline and Elise.

Next Thursday the Belles are off to Glorious Goodwood - Ladies Day on Thursday, July 28...here's hoping for sunshine!!
