The Medium Plus Group divided into two at Hornbeam. Eight in the 2nd group on what turned out to be a lovely sunny morning as we wound & twisted our way to Ripon via Boroughbridge as per Route 267. Good food & service at Tates but with ever darkening skies the rain jackets came on as we sought to leave. Helen, Janet, Navah, Debs & Karen left to return via Ripon & Knaresborough whilst Top Tim (T1), Tall Tim (T3) and Mike carried on up the deer park as the temperature dropped & rain threatened. Except a couple of miles on and the roads were wet but the sun was out again. Cheeks blowing as we mounted Dallowgill Moor, past Fellbeck with the heat now bouncing off the roads and a quick jive down to Burnt Yates. Smashing. 54.5 miles. Tall Tim
