The dry sunny weather saw 23 riders head through the Lanes out to Longridge. A group of 15 or so peeled off to the A6 to do an 18 miles loop through and off whilst another group veered off at Garstang for a smaller through and off loop. I went straight to the cafe to avoid having my legs shredded and tired for the 1/2 tour. After a brief lunch I took a full carbon stead for a test ride with SRAM red and SRAM 60 wheels, around 3.5K's worth of kit - it was OK but nothing special. I came home through the Trough of Bowland which looked fantastically clear and bright today. Good moderate ride of around 70 miles.
