To Lisburn...and Back!



Our most recent bike day out was a delightful meander down the tow path, on a bright crisp morning, from Central Station to Lisburn. This does, admittedly, sound like a fair hike, but its nice and flat, with a handy tea room half way along the route.. (personally, I'd accidentally bought decaff tea bags a few days earlier, so the coffee went straight to the point!!)




We were joined by some more choir members and their other halves, so our numbers are gently swelling.

Just a short pedal after we'd finished our coffee and scones and we'd reached Hilden Mill for lunch! Previous visitors to the blog will have noted our emphasis on food, and we wonder if in fact we are doing a slow-motion gourmet tour of the Province - but then, someone's got to do it..

Derek, being Indespensable, on his first bike-trip. I'm delighted to report that his Saddle-Awareness is now almost cured..

Before....and after...


... and in between!


And while the general 'look' is on the side of Casual, Brian decided to take no chances after sampling the local refreshments..
