Medium Steady

Although the official lead rides were cancelled there are usually one or two diehards who turn up, but not today and although the Wanderers walking group didn’t disappoint, I was the only one on two wheels. So after exchanging pleasantries and New Year good wishes with them and deciding an invitation to join them was not appropriate in cleated cycling shoes, I announced to myself where the rides were going today and set off on the Medium Steady route to Little Almscliffe, Fewston Bents and Menwith. Despite the forecast it was not too cold in the bright sunshine and the views (see below) were stunning. The roads were dry and frost free and in most case relatively quiet and with a pleasant coffee and mince pie with Sophie I enjoyed a good morning out.  James G
