Beginners Ride

A wet and miserable Sunday in July, I've got things to do at home and I haven't assigned anyone to lead the ride. Reluctantly I get up, get dressed, put my waterproofs on and head out to Three Bridges Station. No-one else is there and, just as I'm about to give up, Pete and Marian arrive on their tandem. Like me, they have things to do and thought they were down to lead the ride, so, after waiting for ten minutes and a grand total of no other riders arriving, we decided to call it a day and each headed home.
