Cream Tea Ride - Manor Farm, Broomfield - 13th September
A few pictures of Taunton and Bridgwater HASSRA members about to set off on the recent Cream Tea Ride. We all had a really lovely afternoon ride over the Quantocks followed by a very tasty cream tea back at the farm. Hopefully no one was too saddle sore afterwards!
