FINALLY

The ladies of Anerley made it to Brighton in the blazing heat on Thursday including new girl Frances. Well done to you all but I think it is high time that one of you (ahem) volunteered to lead a Tuesday ride.

Hopefully, Stuart will be back next week to bring you the great Bugle. Much as I enjoy putting this together, it is too much of a rush to create the quality of humour Stuart achieves so easily. 

Happy Cycling!
