Monk's Yard Mystery Tour: This is a three option ride...if the weather is kind to us (unlikely given the forecast) we will do a 35 mile round trip taking in a few hills, challenging, and up high before dropping down for coffee at Monk's Yard. On return we will follow a flatter kinder route. If the weather is a little unkind we will go gently out and flat back, 25 miles. If the weather is horrible (Promised!) we will just have to negotiate the steps at The Coach where we will met for coffee and enjoy each others company. We can't lose!
