Shillington - Bedfordshire

Thursday 21st June - Summer Solstice

Our ride this morning was in support of the Letchworth Festival.  The aim of this ride is to encourage new cyclists or those that haven't been out on their bikes for a while to join us.  Eleven cyclists set off from the Three Magnets in Leys Avenue in two groups just before 10:45.  They were Anne, Mick L, Sandra & David W, David R, Frank C, Peter, Richard, Ann, myself Stuart and Geoff in the overall lead.  We were heading for Shillington and The Musgrave Arms for our lunch.  We took our normal route out with a little loop around Shillington as we were running a little early.  On arrival, we were met by Adrian, John, Fred, Bridget and Gill with Bedford Paul arriving shortly after.  We had our lunch in the pub garden in glorious sunshine, very nice.  Anne, John, Adrian, Fred and Paul set off after lunch at their respective destinations, while the rest of us took our normal route back to Letchworth.  My mileage was 22 at an average of 10.​
