With Met Office weather warnings for high winds and heavy rain, Dave H understandably cancelled today’s Xmas ride from Maggies to the Pant yr Ochain, but some of us were always going to ignore the weather forecast .
The
trio of musketeers who accompanied me on the ride were Keith, Mike and
Chris.
Mike
had brought with a route with him which we modified slightly to ensure we would
arrive on time for our Xmas lunch.
Leaving
Maggies slightly later than usual our route initially took us through to Ridley
Wood before a series of zig zags led us via Wrexham Industrial estate to Borras
Head. We detoured down a very poorly surfaced Coxs Lane which eventually
brought us out onto Marford Hill. The climb up Marford hill climb led us onto
Gresford High Street and the final half mile along Vicarage Lane to “The
Pant”.
Thankfully
the forecast rain and wind held off allowing us to enjoy our meal in dry
clothing. However two hours later on leaving after our lunch the
forecasted heavy rain had arrived meaning a wet ride home for all of us. We were
warned!
Thank you Mike, Keith and Chris for your company on what must be the shortest CER
ride of the year along with the shortest blog.
