There's never a dull moment on an Amblers ride!9 of us managed to remember it was a 9.30 start this week and set off on Bowen's proposed ride.Good turnout considering several regulars including Paul,Andy S ,John and Carrie all had other things on.Jonathan confirmed he has booked for Mallorca and one or 2 others may well still do so.
I was going at about my worst(no excuses except 2 weeks of hedonism and no cycling!)when half way up the Bwllch I got a bit of dirt in my eye,blinked and my contact lens fell out.Unfortunately it was my better eye so I could only see clearly about 10 feet ahead.We were almost exactly half way so after some debate I carried on but now with a good excuse for my snails pace.Everyone was very solicitous and I obviously got back safely but will definitely make a spare set of lenses part of my cycling essentials in future.(I've never lost a lens like that in 40 years!)
I didn't join the others for a café stop so I hope everyone else got back ok and I didn't ruin the day for everyone else.
Thanks to Bowen for the route,to Terry for searching for the lens and to everyone else for putting up with me!
