BOB’S Mid week ride today 4th September

Six riders started today from Orsett. The route followed the usual format, slowed down by newly strewn gravel in Dunning Lane. The perspiring bunch was met at Puddledock by Chris G, who had taken a short cut, and Jon Lane, for brunch and chat. Leaving at 12.30 to slide on more gravel, the group split in Bulphan for rides home.

There was a slight delay in leaving Orsett today due to discussions about Bob Drake, a mainstay of Gateway Cycling and the founder of Bob’s mid week ride, who had a cycling accident yesterday. I’m not sure of the full details, but I understand Bob is now back at home and hopefully on his way to a full recovery. We wish him well.
