Three wise men and me set off for the penultimate pre-Christmas ride heading via Little Alne, Snitterfield and Lowsonford before arriving in Lapworth where we joined by a fifth and most of us heartily embraced the friendly, family festive atmosphere as we discussed drone counter measure technology and the price of cider. After a few refreshments we headed back towards Earlswood stopping at the cider house which seemed to be a little short of cider, but maybe we weren't looking hard enough. 51 miles for me, yo ho ho!
