A chilly start with a thick fog didn't dampen the spirits of the six riders from Humberside, who set off on a leisurely tandem ride through the picturesque lanes of North Lincolnshire. Organised by Peter and Lyn, the group met at South Ferriby, with the aim of completing a circular ride from South Ferriby, also takingbin the Roman rosd Ermine Street.
Joined by Mike and Hazel from Scunthorpe and Jim and Ann from Barton, the group headed out on the flat roads, taking in the charming villages of Horkstow, Saxilby, and Bonby, before stopping for refreshments at Elsham Hall. It was after the coffee and cake that the weather took a turn for the better, with the sun breaking through the fog and visibility improving dramatically.
With the wind at our backs and the sun on our faces, the group continued on their way, riding through Brigg and Appleby on the old Roman road of Ermine Street, before making their way back to South Ferriby. A very enjoyable 44km ride was had by all, with the perfect blend of scenic countryside, good company, and pleasant weather.
