A few dates for your diary

Good turn out for todays Wednesday Ride - but the weather did deteriorate somewhat and not all made it to the lunch stop at Airton - and I suspect that some of those who did wished they had turned early as the buffeting winds and icy cold rain made the later part of our return journey somewhat uncomfortable - never mind it was all good training for the North West Passage, which, worryingly, is only 2 weeks away next Saturday.

A few dates for your diary -

Saturday 16th February - North West Passage Audax, 130 & 75 mile options from Rochdale, the traditional season starter for the Condor.
