Wycombe Wander
Posted on Thursday 27 November 2008 by Keith Butcher
With a ride title like ‘Wycombe wander - the ride that never was‘ we were tempting fate at the end of November, and sure enough we rode to the station in driving snow, hoping to see no-one, to find a total of 7 mad souls, all shivering. After coffee cheered us we were convinced by David Kurtz’s unshakeable belief in the weather forecasters that it would stop snowing, so we caught the train to Wycombe, to find heavy rain, great. But then miraculously it eased and we found lovely sunny weather in the Chiltern hills, who would have believed it? We had a great lunch at Ewelme and then rushed back trying to avoid darkness and the rain, but got caught by both. A real mixed bag of a day, with some great views and great cycling in the lanes on the way to Christmas common, to be repeated. thanks to the mad souls who braved the bad weather and set off to find the sun.
