Notes:

A slack road ride on seldom ridden lanes.

Modest consumption in multiple pubs.

Legh Arms a bit plastic, but other pubs more authentic and typical of this part of Cheshire.

Posh girls of Cheshire in evidence, especially in Luc’s local.

Quick beer with Luc & Ryan, with Ryan’s latest wheel-build on show.

Pud’s recovery from injury continues (touch wood).

Dan charms his way into late food at the Osteria.

Mixed Italian starter (leftovers?), Pizza, Tiramisu & Peronis enjoyed by all. (A bit over our normal budget though!).

More new product on display from Trevor “Bettaware” Jackson

All home by sensible o’clock.
