Having been out earlier in the week I had already decided that extra layers of clothing would be needed today; and so it proved to be with temperatures staying below freezing. Eight riders braved the cold to turn up at Christleton Pond; a combination of a depleted Chester Section and Chester Easy Riders. Despite reduced numbers the group enjoyed a relaxed start to the New Year along frosty lanes passing the Ice Cream Farm before 
skirting Harthill by way of Bolesworth and Brown Knowl. From here it was downhill to Duckington and the turn-off to Tilston. A good number of cyclists had already gathered when we arrived, although judging by their attire a significant proportion had come by car this year. Although total numbers were down from last year Harry counted just over 40 present: not a bad turnout for such an unpromising start to the year. After a leisurely lunch and chat with those present it was time for a more direct route back via Lower Carden and Tattenhall with a tea stop in Waverton courtesy of John and Eunice.
Distance from Chester and back 37 miles.
