Easy Ride with Michael

Time for another attempt at a poem methinks:

Cold day, cold nose, cold in the head.

Hard climb, hard wind, hard to make the time.

Warm legs, warm welcome, warmed up ready to go.

Through Horsham, through the tunnel, through the slippery mud - oh!

Over Newbridge, over the old bridge, over the Itchingfield climb.

Wait for the ladies, wait in the sunshine, wait - Michael, make up your mind.

Cross over the railway, cross over the B road, don't cross the A 272.

Pick up the pace a bit, pick up the ladies, pick up a tailwind too.

Back through Barns Green, back past Dog Barking, Bax Castle for a stop.

Plenty of eating, plenty of chatting and plenty of juice of the hop.

Before braving the cold, braving the traffic and braving Tower Hill to the top.

Hmmmm.   That crashed to a halt!  Unlike the ride which was actually really enjoyable. Thanks to Michael for leading, Barbara, Christine, Frank, Norman and Pete E for riding.

Our next ride is a Crawley start and is styled as "Muddy Ride – offroad on bridleways – nothing extreme".   The official start is from Three Bridges station at 10:00hrs, although if you wanted to meet up with Gordon at Pease Pottage a bit earlier, I'm sure it could be arranged.
