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.

With three people dropping out because of the heavy rain, it was amazing that we were able to go ahead with this ride. There were only two of us at the Cutty Sark start point, but we were able to establish a quorum by meeting up with a third rider at the Beckenham Place Park gates ("the quorum shall be three*). However, it was questionable as to whether the ride could be branded as being "Healthy" and there was certainly no chance of us being able to see any butterflies.
