Wednesday 1st December 2021 - Xmas Lunch

As it was the day of the Yuletide Lunch many riders had decided that sorting themselves out for the event took priority over a ride on a rather wintery morning. However Neil (first time out with the group), Howard, Ian, Alan, John and Mike had decided to venture out.

Since some wanted to get to the lunch a short ride ending up in either Quorn or Mountsorrel was agreed upon.  The group set out through Loughborough and onto Meadow Lane, turning south in Stanford to Cotes and then through Walton on the Wolds. At the cross roads at the Salt Way Howard and his brother Neil decided to head back for Loughborough so they would have time to change and get to the lunch.

The remaining riders then headed east towards Six Hills turning off at Berrycott Lane to descend to Seagrave. 

The decision then had to be made as to whether to head for Barrow or Sileby. As time was moving on the Sileby option was chosen with the riders proceeding on to coffee at Stonehurst Farm in Mountsorrel. Here Mike left the party to return home.

After partaking of necessary refreshment the riders headed up Linkfield Road the the Ridings, arriving at Rothley Court at noon as everyone gathered for lunch.
