Night Ride First Friday Every Month

[Jonah]

Due to the success of the first Night Ride there will be a Night RIde on the 1st Friday of every month.

[Jonah]

The first Night Ride was a resounding success, nine riders participated and the atmosphere was electric. There was plenty of chat and jokes on the way out to Chesterton Windmill and we decided to take the off road track up to the windmill. We arrived a little too late to see the best of the sunset, but the very late evening clouds created their own drama over the landscape below. We then waited for darkness to arrive on a lovely warm evening, while surveying the ancient Roman landscape that lay in the valley.

We then proceeded to Warwick Service Station for a few beverages; spirits were not dented despite the planned full moon not materialising due to cloud cover. We enjoyed our refreshment break while the heavens opened and we took our time departing from the shelter Warwick Service Station offered.

On leaving the rain eased and the riding was very pleasant on a very warm evening, conversation was interspersed with laughter and we could hear our tyres jipping along the roads beneath us.

At the end of the ride everyone was keen for another Night Ride to take place...

NIGHT RIDE FRIDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER 2014

This month's night ride will start from the Styvechale Arms at 1930 and will take a 32 mile route to Warwick Services for a cup of tea. The route home will be 16 miles with the possibility of another stop for those interested.

The ride will be considered a social ride probably run at 13/14 mph + depending on who is riding.
