A group ride 1 November

The prospect of leading a ride and indeed doing anything creative is a scary prospect, but thanks to the support of every rider in the group, marking the turns, back marking and just being there, it becomes a shared journey which everyone can enjoy. So I would encourage everyone to have a go at leading and show us all places we haven't visited yet. Thanks to everyone for making my first go at leader a good experience.

The Jurors
In one picture is "The Jurors" artwork. Twelve bronze seats which have different experiences of  injustice, which cry out for "justice for all". Interestingly, I have to do my jury service at the end of this month and so will find out for real what occurs in court. The artwork commemorates the site where 800 years ago Magna Carta was signed, placing restrictions on King John's power. The resulting legislation has been applied and refined through the ages to the present day and given us parliament. I have driven past countless times and never stopped to consider.

There are lots of historical sites out there to visit like the RAF monument-see picture.

The pictures of Hans and the salad competition are hilarious, but it shows what fun you can have eating healthily.  I am looking forward to more fun rides in the future!
