A really enjoyable ride.
I missed the start as I was at the Olympic football in Cardiff that went to extra time and then penalties! Managed to get dropped off at Weston Super Mare just before 1am and got lost on the way to Cheddar.
Habbi was just walking out of the tea stop as I was walking in so it was great to meet up with the rest of LFGSS riders.
A very friendly ride, I liked how through the dark lanes you find yourself cycling next to someone for a few miles then as the pace slowly changes you find yourself alongside someone else having a new conversation.
As others have said our group had great camaraderie, it was good to meet so many friendly forum folk.
Low point was the car overtaking our group on a bend way to fast and nearly taking out two riders as another car came the other way. It was quite shocking how very close it came and how it was just good fortune that a tragedy was averted.
Highlights include, the shooting star, the tea stops, the gentle rhythm of the group but most of all the company
I must make more effort to attend forum rides
