The Boot and back

To fill the gap between the Mince Pie Run and the Duloe Daffodil Dash, we like to go to a Veteran-Cycle Club ride.  This is ‘The Boot and Back’ at Weston in Hertfordshire and the object is to cycle over the 4½-mile course as closely as possible to a target time—neither too quickly nor too slowly.

There were fewer participants than usual because it was pouring with rain most of the morning … but the rain stopped and the sun came out as the ride was about to start.
