We met at Goodwood Hotel, cut through the estate and along past the motorcircuit cutting through Lavant and made our way to West Stoke. From here we went our usual route through Funtingdon, turning right at the pub and down turning towards Walberton. From here Fiona took over and cycled up her long slow hill, which was great for our stamina, ending up at our cafe in Compton....
Now here's the funny bit....Sheila locked her bike to Lynn's outside the caff, but she forgot to bring the key!! We suggested they both cycle home very carefully, but they weren't impressed with this suggestion so a friend of the cafe's owner brought his saw but as he had an operation yesterday he couldn't do anything with it. So yours truly with the help from Alison sorted it out in about 20 seconds....
Don't buy this type of lock as it's made of mostly plastic with a thin piece of wire running through it. I think Sheila bought it from Tesco. The 'D' lock designs are considered the best.
Hope everyone got home safely and hope to see you next week for TWO rides including Brunch at the Woodmancote...£5.
