Roads were Ok but we took it gingerly at known ice black spots (there wasn't any ice but better safe than sorry). We kept it reasonably tight, good calling, much tidier than some 17s I've ridden lately - well done everyone. Turned into a really pleasant day - lots of sunshine but never got above freezing. Amy took Partridge. The rest of us regrouped at the top of Rusper and gave it some welly to the cafe. Unfortunately we got split by a bus as we turned onto the main drag to Charlwood and things became a little ragged. Got in at 16.7 mph but given the weather and the mix of abilities I was happy.
Rode back with Peter, Brian, Lindsay, Sam. Swept up Robbie who'd presumably got dropped by another group. Kept a really good pace with Peter and Brian doing most of the work at the front. Had to stop to wait for Sam when I realised he wasn't with us (in fact he'd never been with us - we blasted off from the cafe and he couldn't get on so ending up riding on his own!).
I thought about riding up to Nonas for coffee and cake but my frozen toes screamed at me NOOOOOO!!! So peeled off at Redhill and home to thaw out me tootsies. Great ride as usual. thanks everyone.
