Riders:Carin TranterDiana Whidborne Martyn Wigmore Michael Tayler Steve Boreham Tim Waite Riders = 6 Weather: Report:A very pleasant ride out to Garford, via Denchworth and Lyford. We went through the farmyard to the little old church where we posed for a photo in the church porch.We came back down to Hanney and then across the track where we came out on the Grove to Denchworth Road. Martyn - ever the naturalist spotted deer and hares as we came across the fields. Thank you for a very relaxing ride. PS The photo caption is incorrect - should read Garford church not Lyford! | ||
