Winter Ride

The cold weather was no reason to stay in this weekend… In fact it was the perfect oppurtunity to take the Cerium out on the Club run – kitted up with Disc Brakes, mudguards and a plush ride courtesy of its 28c Conti Contacts.

In fact it seemed better suited to these conditions than at any other point during the year as those on Carbon Frames and narrow 23 & 25c tyres tiptoed around.

Riding with the guys from VC10 we took a picturesque trip out through the lanes of the Aylesbury Vale via Waddesdon Manor then on to the village of Stony Stratford before looping back round the Vale as we headed towards every club riders favourite stopping point. Being the first truly fresh ride of the Winter a welcome stop came in the guise of ‘Little Italy’, a rider friendly Cafe in the village of Haddenham.

Following a brew, cake and a brief thaw out it was a swift ride for home.

80miles on the clock, a great day out in the countryside ….. and a justifiable excuse for raiding the fridge!
