Report:Woo Hoo !!!Firstly a courageous decision by all to give a try... We got as far as the turn off to Goosey before a virtual snowstorm hit (only a slight exaggeration!). Little persuasion was needed to confirm an early return to base. Our decision was justified when we saw the WMP 3* group heading for home too! Well done to everyone for turning up and giving it a go Next week has got to be better weather ... hasn't it ? | ||

Start Location:OMH |

Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly.It is very exciting to be back in action!

Report:Goodness me. Blizzard conditions at the start did not inspire confidence. Much discussion between leaders before we decided to head out anyway and hope for the best. Actually, compared to the other groups we didn't do too badly. Bitterly cold, but only a couple of flurries and we were rewarded with a glorious sunset to finish the ride with.Great to welcome Graham on his first ride with us who remarkably still turned out and rode well. Also great to welcome Richard back after a few years away. Thanks for your company! | ||

Report:Well that was funA fair bit of 'should we, shouldn't we?' in the car park, then we set off. A minor blizzard on the road to Southmoor, but we could still see the group ahead, so it wasn't a complete white out! Glad that we'd pressed on, the sunset and pink skies were as beautiful as the snow covered Ridgeway as we headed for home. Memorable | ||

Riders:Andy PixtonDavid Jackson Katherine Boyce Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 5 Weather:Report:Well, that was an experience!A bit of a blustery headwind until we got just north of Charney Bassett when a snowy squall blew in that made progress slow and not entirely safe. A meeting was convened and we agreed to cut the ride short and come back via Stanford and Park Lane. Having done this, of course, the sun came out and it became quite pleasant....... Despite the improved conditions, I found when I got back to my shed that I still had snow deposits on my helmet! Still, it WAS good to be out again in a small group and we managed an average 21kph. | ||
