The March ride was a short 20 mile circular adventure with 8 tandems , 3 solos, 4 ducks, a flock of sheep and two early chiffchaffs all led by Rachel and Nick . 
This carefully curated route started and finished in Wellington (Somerset) and cunningly bi-passed a series of marshes swamps and bog land that used to make up the local by ways . 
As the sun came out signalling a farewell to Winter, the daffodils glowed and frolicked on the verges. We stopped for the first alfresco cafe stop of the year at Bridwell Court near Uffculme. 
Revived, we tackled the perilous crossing of the main South West express rail line between the 1145 to Penzance and the 1158 to London Paddington both remarkably on time. 
Getting a single bike over the line can be dodgey, but as we in the club are aware: tandems: twice the dodginess. 
We proceeded to take a turn along the Tiverton Canal tow path and again skilfully avoided losing any participants. We returned to base with much conviviality and recovered over a delicious lunch at the White Horse Bradford on Tone. Yum.
