Pete filled in for Kim this week n raised the male attendance by 100%. Alton was our destination this weekend, but we couldn’t give Milwich the slip. Waving to the publican at the Green Man as we passed by we headed out towards Uttoxetter. After missing a turn somewhere we added a couple of extra miles before the lovely decent and freewheel alongside the river to the Ramblers Retreat. Posh nosh n a pot of tea meant cyclists were ready for the climb out of Alton, it’s what we came for! At the cross roads, where Russ goes left, we went straight on, only to find ourselves back at the bottom of the lovely decent we enjoyed before lunch. A quick glance at the map and a short debate we climbed ‘the lovely decent’ and headed back towards Milwich (we all hate it but we can’t stay away)! Thirsty, tired and tanned we pressed on for home.
