01.01.2022 Thursday Club Ride Woodend 1st October 2020 Members arrived in Woodend this morning for today’s ride. Weather conditions were very windy and warmer than we have had for some while. We rode our normal Thursday ride out to Newham via Bryces Lane, 3 Chain Road, Chases Lane and turning at Batters Lane for the ride back to Woodend. Immediately we commenced riding we split into 2 groups of 6 riders for the Ride out to Chases Lane. The ride split into 2 different groups with 9 a...nd 3 riders. We had a mainly head wind for the ride to Batters Lane followed by a tail wind back to Woodend. Back at the cafe it was the usual chatter and refreshments before heading home.
