Ann Emery regrets to tell those hardy souls who were planning to ride tomorrow that due to the rain forecast the event is cancelled, for now!
The thought is that once the ferry returns and the weather looks more suitable an alternative ride to Hengistbury Head or around Poole bay will be organised.
