Well that was the bike trip that wasn’t.
Of the seven who had signed up for this outing two sensible souls – the Honourable Members for Founex and for Rolle – believing their own eyes rather than the weather forecast, decided to stay in their pyjamas in preference to donning wet weather cycling gear. That left five of us who duly assembled at the start line at 09:30 – Ivan, Mark, Mervyn, Peter S & Ralph.
The grounds of the Everness Hotel are the usual meeting place for our biking trips but today, under leaden skies and heavy rain, the invitingly warm interior was the unanimous choice. There we shed wet outer clothing and ordered coffees and teas. It continued to rain so we had another round of coffees and discussed the options for the morning. By 11 o’clock, with no improvement in the weather expected for several hours, we had decided to abandon any thought of cycling other than to head straight home.
Oh well, next time?

PS: There are no photos of this non-event because no one had a waterproof camera.
S0rry to have stayed in my pyjamas, er, well not so sorry perhaps. Sorry that Ralph’s inaugural ride was a wash out. Next time it rains like that I’ll not be coming out.
