Justin, Peter H, Richard B, TT, Sharon, Jonathan, Ron, Tiger Tony, SJH. Great to see Tiger out again - he's been absent far too long. Said he was feeling better, so naturally we did our best to drop him on the way back. Also good to see Jonathan out mid-week - could this become a regular thing?
A dry but largely grey and mostly cold day; Justin was up for a long ride, Peter needed to be home early for an afternoon departure for North Wales. Harleston (Norfolk, not just outside Stowmarket) was mentioned by TT, and some of us thought that that was where we were going to go, right up until we swung into the car park at Bloom's of Bressingham. There was a stiff-ish North-ish breeze in our faces as we pedalled out, and TT managed to find a few combinations of road not recently used which, when added to well-worn routes was a bit dis-orienting (Diss was another destination, in fact, but was diss-missed due to nine riders being rather too many for Mere Moments on a busy Wednesday morning).
The only photo that I took was the one at the top of the story. The forest of new retro cake stands made a huge impression - but I still stuck to my scone and jam (another crumbly scone; great for taste but a b*gg*r to butter). I nipped out early to turn my wheel round for the tailwind home run. 51 miles when I swung down the drive and, unlike Sunday, I actually felt human. SJH

Good to see a cake picture. There has been too much cycling and not enough food in recent reports :-)
