Report:It was so cold that I was nervous about ice on the roads, but Carin's bravery encouraged me out and we enjoyed a bracing ride, together with the 2* riders, who managed to keep to their promise not to go too fast or leave us behind. Thanks everyone - much appreciated! In fact the only icy patches were in the usual damp spots on the Denchworth Road, and thanks to Des' careful leading we negotiated them successfully. See the 2* report. | ||

Report:As there were only 2 riders on the 1*, the two rides joined together. (See Lorna's 1* report too.)As a group of 7 it was to a very good day for a ride as it was only 1 degree C when we set off but we took it very steady as the road from Grove to Denchworth was very icy. Everybody was relaying warnings to each other so no mishaps. It was very cold so we pushed on from Fyfield Wick through to Kingston Bagpuize to Southmoor, rather then crossing the A420 into Fyfield and coming back over the bridge at Southmoor. We were very well looked after at Munch Cafe and we all thawed out. For the return it had got a bit warmer and most of the ice had melted so we made good time back to Grove. Thank you one and all, a very good competent group to lead. Des | ||
