HCPG Group Ride

HCPG  Group Ride 23/10/2015

Meeting Point: The Stow Car park

Time: 09.00 


The time and place was finally set for our group ride, a big thanks to Bill Preston for making this one happen, and a big thanks to the 17 riders who turned up for the HCPG Group ride on a chilly Sunday morning! 

 A Few phtos of the ride out to the Mint Cafe at Sawbridgeworth cafe.

First photo of the group! Not to sure I got everyone in!

Might have done it! Er no! I can see now still more left out!
09:00 Soon came and went so it was time to go! I passed out a few Parktool Tyre Levers to everyone who turned up.

Plenty of leaves all over the place on the cycle path towards Potter Street.

First stop of the day was Bill to stop to get a twig out of his Derailier!
We all made it as far as Southern Way, Wayne had gone to look at the Park Inn Bench just to check if it was still there!

A little confusion I feel here! some wanted straight on, and a few wanted left!

Just a check!

Such a "Laid Back" riding position has Keith!

Bench is still there!
10yard up the road and we get out first "P" Think!

Funny enough I have some Tyre Levers!

Decided to swap things around, Wayne change the inner tune and I will take the photos! 

A 1970'S Pump!

Linda, just love this photo!

That's good Callum, get the tyre levers and the pump in the photo!

Best to let the younger members of the group get the practise in of pumping!

Nearly there!

We are on the move!

By this time we had lost the main group!
