Report:At last, shorts weather! A lovely evening for a relaxed ride out to Charney Bassett and Lyford via Sheephouse Lane. Nice to see Rachel again for her first Tuesday evening ride. On returning to Grove we decided to take in an extra loop around Newlands Drive and Cane Lane to see progress on the new road. To my surprise it is now open! | ||

Riders:David JacksonDes Higgs Gareth Smith Ian Howland Julie Haynes Karl Blake Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 7 Report:Another glorious summers evening and such a delight to see Julie Ayres!The troublesome twosome had their grumpy old B*********s shirts on and provided as ever much motivation and fun! As we left Denchworth I set the pace to Julie's as she said she had not been out for a while, well she was rocking and in the end I had to ask her to slow down. A lovely flat ride perfect conditions for a ride, and evidently for hot air ballooning as we followed two distant balloons home from Shellingford. Thanks to all for your company. | ||
