Cycling August ride
Unfortunately, we had to cancel our ride this month due to the weather. Instead, we met up for coffee at Suburban Rascals which was lovely.
We were sad to lose one of our members to cancer this month, Alison Gallant. Alison loved being part of our cycling group and we will miss her.
Next month we hope for better weather and plan to cycle to Lincoln.
We meet on the last Friday of the month and new members are always welcome.
