After our usual catch-up and coffee break it will be film night – of the cycling variety. Although it is about Raleigh it is so much more than just about the company. Film lasts about an hour. All welcome.
Meet: 8pm Carey Hall, Trinity Church Centre, Nether Street, North Finchley N12
We do now have a plan – a cunning plan. Malcolm will lead the group to The Gate pub at Bricket Wood for lunch (no coffee stop in the morning). There will be a stop on the way back for afternoon tea at The Orchard café at Shenley. The route will involve a little off-road but it shouldn’t be too muddy. It might be a bit nippy so do bring warm clothing – and remember your lights for getting home.
