Lancaster and S Lakes CTC Thursday 5 January ride to Wray.

There were 9 of us at the Millennium Bridge start point for Neil’s ride to Casterton. Having set off in the rain at 9.20 for our coffee stop at Bridge House, we ground to a halt at 9.22 thanks to a punctured tyre! Good start to the day as the rain persisted during our inner tube replacement. The rain continued as we made our way to Wray. We were a bit soggy, in fact, drenched, on arrival so a democratic decision was taken to return home rather than continue to Casterton after coffee. At Wray we met up with several other members who had arrived independently, so it was good to catch up! The day wasn’t wasted and we still managed 27 miles. It doesn’t rain every day, and tyres puncture rarely, so if you fancy a ride on Thursday or Sunday, you will be welcome!
