The weather was very pleasant and after 11ses I removed my longs, carefully checking that I\u2019d remembered to put my cycling shorts on before doing so. What really makes these days so much fun is the lovely people though. I\u2019d ridden with everyone before at one time or another, but in many cases too long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Low House was its usual splendid self. Fifteen of us sat down to lunch and Pixieannie graced us with her presence and showed me 50% of her new piercings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We benefited from a very helpful tailwind before lunch and it was only when the road kinked briefly to the north-west that we realised how helpful it was. After lunch, I think it had dropped rather so that was a bit of luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took some photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/group_001-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/group_001-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/group_001-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/group_001-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/group_001-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/group_001.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t tangle with this grim-looking lot<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wobblyjohn-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wobblyjohn-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wobblyjohn-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wobblyjohn-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/wobblyjohn.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wobbly John \u2013 a picture of sartorial elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/janenutkintea-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/janenutkintea-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/janenutkintea-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/janenutkintea-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/janenutkintea-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/janenutkintea.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jane and Nutkin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"867\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/simonannie-867x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/simonannie-867x1024.jpg 867w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/simonannie-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/simonannie-768x907.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/simonannie-1300x1536.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/simonannie.jpg 1481w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 867px) 100vw, 867px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the shoulder: Loadsabikes and Annie-not-currently-of-this-parish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cakegroup_002-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cakegroup_002-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cakegroup_002-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cakegroup_002-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cakegroup_002-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gentlemancyclist.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cakegroup_002.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>L to R: Loadsabikes, Marco Stefano, Morrisette, Mrs. Miggins, Canardly, Jane, Nutkin, Wobbly John, Mrs. Wow, Annie-not-currently-of-this-parish, Petes46.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted on&nbsp;10 March 2012 That was indeed a wonderful day.
