Riders:Andy PixtonBarry Stanton Chris Bailey Clare Hazell Graham Bergdahl Jan McCabe Jo Little John Tranter Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Oliver Purcell Paul Smith Roger Postbeschild Sharon Bedford Simon Atkin Simon Wysocki-Jones Yvonne Bird Riders = 17 Weather:Report:The much appreciated sun brought a good number of riders out. Chris was leading his first ride with back-up from Andy and a first group of 8 (men!) left for a relatively benign route to the foothills of the Downs. Those of us that had been out on our bikes during the bank holiday weekend welcomed the lack of hills .The second group welcomed Oliver on his first 3* ride, we're sure we will see him again. A great ride, with great company and perfect weather. You can't ask for more | ||
