Riders:Carin TranterDiana Whidborne John Tranter Laura Horton Nicky Clark Sheena Arnold Susan Holdroyd Tess Evans Riders = 8 Weather: Report:A lovely sunny evening with a breeze gave us a fun ride out to Pusey along the bridleway. A nearly all ladies ride except John came along as back up although we did think we would manage!The bridleway was unexpectedly rather overgrown with many doubting the leader's directions when we dived off into the woods! After the woods came the barley and maize field but we still managed to get through along the tyre tracks left by the tractor. We were on the correct route and made it back to the main road through the lovely village of Pusey. We returned via Charney Bassett and Lyford. | ||
