Hi Remainers
What a fabulous ride to Sniggles (Nibbles) Café in Datchet

Lets make all efforts to attend this Friday to show appreciation to the few individuals who administrate, organise, plot routes and lead rides for you all to enjoy.
Attending the rides is a means of thanking the above mentioned riders who carry out the behind the scenes work to keep the EFR operating in such a smooth manner
Some on the remainers list still have not attended a ride this year, as yet.
So expecting another good turn out on Friday.....thanks al

The EFR altered the destination due to the weather forecast and cycled to Sniggles Café in Datchet.
Chiggi lead for most of the way and she was like a greyhound.
Whilst we were in the café it rained outside so some decided to have another cake and wait fro the shower to pass.
We were therefore lucky as we cycled in the dry out and back.
