Caught out!
Posted on Thursday 12 February 2009 by Nick Bloom
The Millionaires Club had good intentions – a quick half day spin in the Chilterns, back to work for the afternoon. But it was not to be. Our regular 10.06 from Finchley Rd did not appear, so we were on a late start. At Chorleywood, the temperature was decidedly lower than in town, and it was clear there would still be some ice around, especially if there was run-off in the lanes.
We headed up the climb to the A road, only to find the road blocked. Now a few road signs have never swayed us in the past. We pressed on, to find a brand new ford. Or more precisely, a Ford in a ford. On chatting with a passing local cyclist, it appears possible that works for the much-needed new golf course have caused problems for drainage in the fields.
Ho hum. Having been given more warnings of ice in the lanes we retired home. We’ll just have to find an excuse to bunk off next week.
