Saturday 25th July - Last Ride Out before the Summer

8 KVK left Hilden in dry, sunny weather - such a relief after Friday's drenching.  A steady ride up Lower Lane and then Egg Pie Lane got us to Weald in no time, but it was not time to stop for an ice cream yet (to Izzy's disappointment); instead we took on the off-road (technical?) route up Bailey's Hill to get properly warmed up and to really earn an ice cream.  Everyone made it and was rewarded with the fun of free speed as we rolled back down the road to Hale Oak Road.  A little section through the woods brought us back to Weald and the village green.  Now it was time for an ice cream.  We then rolled back to Hilden the way we had come and it was (truly) all down hill - well ok then, apart from the uphill and flat bits!

Is there an ice cream shop round here?

 Well done Izzy, Sophia, Tom, Ellen, Hope, Calvin, Toni and Luke  - good riding (and thanks to Katy, Malcolm and Heather). Hope you all have a fabulous summer.  Don't forget to spend lots of time on your bikes ready to hit the road pedalling in September:)
