B2 ride Wednesday
Trica led at a B1 pace. Ride was excellent and we enjoyed it and it gave us an appetite for the curry that was very good.

B2 ride 10 June. Hard to believe that Fackenden would prove to be so popular yesterday but proximity to Farningham Cricket Club may have had something to do with it. Our luck held out with the weather too and the only wet was lying on the roads having watched the last heavy black cloud vanish into the distance leaving the Olympic & the sun soon appearing creating an immediate change of mood. Stayed dry for the remainder of the day to enjoy our takeaway curry (yes pity about the the ice creams and cake but sterling job to Paul and others for making it happen at all) with no broken bones, heart failure or fall outs on the rounders fie…
The A1s of Rob B., Martin G., Chris S., Bob C., and myself left Swanley for a shorttened and flatish ride around South Darent, Longfield, Hartley and up Ash Lane to our peak of Terry's Lodge where we turned toward Farningham. On the way the wet roads proved how effective we had been in dodging the morning showers. So spurred on by the lure of a tasty curry, and the possibility that the B1s might get to lunch before us, we sped down Knats Valley to arrive surprisingly early. So early we that we reached the Summer Party to the aroma of the curry still being cooked.
Thanks from the A1s to the committee for organising the party.
