We had probably the best turnout of the year for our weekly Thursday ride, numbering into the high teens. Tonight it was the turn of Lyme Regis to be blessed with our cycling prowess and a traditional ride along the front was not to be missed. There was a faint glow from the sun, now way below the horizon, reflecting off of the sea and in no more than 2 weeks, we thought, it would still be high enough to illuminate the roads too.
Tigger navigated us out into Uplyme where a shimmy into Pound Lane took us off the main drag and back onto Harcombe Road for the usual climb upto the A35. It was then a chain gang blast along Trinity Hill, Bobble, Christopher and me in the breakaway group with Rex, making a later break, closing in fast behind. Bobble was, as usual, hard to catch on the hills as so took the polka dot jersey. Rex caught me in the closing few metres of Trinity Hill, but a last minute 'Cav sprint to the line' from yours truly secured me the green points jersey ... naturally, we all ended the evening in the yellow.
Another great ride out with the pedallers, no mechanicals, crashes or other incidents .. and chips and beer a plenty back at the Kings Arms.
