With fearsome winds set to batter the country, it was amazing that this ride could take place at all. With no less than six people dropping out, this left just two of us willing to brave the elements. We are reluctant to tamper with our rides programme too much, for fear of brand-breaking. However, on this occasion, although we had originally intended do a 60 mile loop ride to Chevening, we ended up just going to Holwood Farm Coffee Shop.
