  13. Pete and I also decided today was the best bet neither of us had been out for a while so it was Broadacre,stil,both felt good ,so we took a long route home. what a gorgeous day! sun was troublesome at times and a few slippy leaves about. whatever,a lovely ride,one to remember in cold,wet,days to come, keep riding,and watch them leaves…..
