Good Friday excellent run-out of 47miles (yes should have gone for the 50 miles but I was too tired!!) - Chorley-Eccleston- Hilldale-Newburgh-Ring O Bells- Aughton- Clieves Hills-Rufford-Mawdesely- Chorley
I would have 3 points now if I hadn't missed Feb

While 'rusty bearing' was out doing a 100km with Cyclechat gang I had a solo toddle out and managed a very nice 33miles from Chorley-Euxton-Eccleston-Hilldale-Mawdesely-Croston-Walmer Bridge-Farington-Chorley. Lovely weather - bright and sunny defo felt like spring even my legs. So I'd have 4 points now :smile:
