Riders:Anke OttoDavid Jackson Des Higgs Gareth Smith Karl Blake Oliver Purcell Roger Postbeschild Steve Swanton Riders = 8 Weather: Report:The night of the midge! After the unsettled forecast, a sunny but cool evening for a ride; the strong breeze that has blown from the north-west for the last few days had at last abated. But the consequence was a plague of midges hovering in the evening sunshine above many of the lanes along our route. Conversation was rather stifled at times by the risks of a mouthful!As the planned route was very similar to that of the BoYB ride of Sunday, I decided to reverse it - it made a change to cycle northwards rather than southwards through Stanford. Good to see Gareth out on his first ride for a while, Oliver on his first Tuesday Evening Ride and Karl back at the top of the leaderboard. Thanks all for your company; nice to be back in the swing of Tuesday evenings. | ||
