Gentlemen of Willowby Cycle Club
No hill too steep, no beer too dear!

Date: Saturday 18th July 2009
Riders: Keith, Stephen & Neil
Distance: 12 miles (on Stephen's) 13 miles (on Neil's) or 14 (on Keith's)!!!
Weather: Overcast, but ideal cycling weather.
Time: Departed Willowby 08.05, returned 09.45.

Alcohol & Cycling don't go!

Three gents made the most of a small dry window before the rain returned. The Routemeister had planned a long route exploring beyond Cox Tor, but due to his impressive intake of alcohol the night before at HQ, he quickly proposed a far gentler trip! Yes, cycling & alcohol defiantly go, alcohol & cycling don't! Neil made the trip up from Devonport by bike, so he was warm by the time he arrived at Willowby. We headed to Pew Tor, slowly made our way to the Pork Hill car park. A quick bit of road to Merrivale then turned back off road passed Vixen Tor. We climbed Pew Tor then headed for home via Horrabridge. It was a very pleasant ride & nice to be out with the Routemeister with his 'gentle' head on!!
