A forcast of 19 degrees and it wasn't wrong! However, it was a one off and the following day returned to a cooler 11-12 degrees...
Myself, Bob, Paul & Tim embarked on a 60 mile tour with a tea and cake stop at Hilliers Garden Centre Cafe and an ice cream stop at Anglo Welsh Marina.
Stopped at Hilliers cafe at mile 35ish but alas, they had no tables and chairs out... we looked inside to find, (shock horror!) all tables taken or reserved... so ordered our tea and cake and decided to sit on the grass under a tree picnic styleeee. 😀
Personally I had the Dundee cake, a full 10/10, I also had a look round the sizable farm shop and was suitably impressed.
Unfortunately usually I suffer a little hayfever for a few weeks at the start of 'hayfever season' (tree pollen is rampant currently) and as the sun was at it's hazy hottest in the afternoon the pollen was pungent - I soon found myself quickly getting affected whilst cycling back and ended up shooting off home on my own, a hayfever tab saved me but by the time it kicked it I was way past the designated ice cream stop... no ice cream for me booo!!
A nice ride out hampered by the funny ride back, 60 miles covered!
