Montecute Hills
Face 13/07
We had an
excellent turn-out last Sunday so it was a dilemma to go Hills or Flat, but we
stuck with the BG rule, if its fine in winter go hills. So at the risk of Brian
managing back-to-back rides, we do the Montacute loop. Sunday morning looks pleasant if cool 12
degrees according to the forecast with the bad weather coming in again next
week. I will book a weather call just in case and we will not be
venturing too far from a roaring fire and a hot coffee so we should beat the
forecast weather back down the hill.

We have a
lot to discuss about the tour at coffee. In particular the complete failure on most
of the peleton to keep the rubber side of the bike facing down. Remember to rug
up for the morning as it’s a bit of a fridge in the valley.
