Today I should have been leading an SCCC Ride to Tatton Park. However it had to be cancelled due to the weather – the possibility of ice being too great. After we had waiting at the cycle ride start, just in case anyone hadn’t get the message and turned up to ride, it was pleasing that everyone had obviously got the message as no one turned up!
