my understanding now is that mizzle consists of rain drops bigger than grapes!

We got caught in the downpour, couldn't get my waterproofs on quick enough! Drenched.
Then, to add insult to injury, I managed to get lost going through Derby city centre going back to the rugby club.

How could you get lost with such a good route sheet

My thoughts exactly

[Nelly]

I'd stuffed the route sheet in my tool box by this point.
I was convinced I was going in the generally correct direction, obviously not as I ended up at Derby football ground, then the train station.
What a muppet.

I had to do a couple of U turns tbh, concentrating on attacking the great roads more than looking where the turnings were

[coaster]

I stopped as soon as the rain started to get heavy and put my Ebay Waterproof Jacket and trousers on before I got too wet. It was as well I did as I'd missed the left turning towards Athersone? for the sticker pick up point. Relalised as Storkfoot my trusty guide had disappeared. Rule one, don't get ahead of the guy that knows where he is going

Absolutely fantastic run though and all those involved in organising it deserve a MASSIVE pat on the back, please accept my heart felt thanks.

Got to admit 'Old Lane' could easily be missed, especially by the boy racers!

[Eden]

was that the road that lead to the dales where the cows where in the road?
I couldn't believe that non of them moved an inch when we all rode through them, well chilled out cows round there for sure!

[byron]

Was this the Abbey pub?
We were in there last night, nice little pub. I was drinking the Taddy lager, nice pint.
It was very busy in there last night, there was a good few in the club over the road too.

It was missed by me, and I ain't no boy racer.500 yards from home and I had to stop... get map out and retrace my steps.( not for the first time minds)
