Report:A short ride out to Ardington Grocers Chef for coffee. It was lovely to welcome a new rider Rob Godfrey to the group. We used the cycle paths to go to Denchworth Road and cross the aeroplane roundabout. We then rode across Camel Crossroads and onto Locks Lane where we turned and crossed the brook joining Portway at the top of the Hill. We then went over the Royal Oak traffic Lights along Ormond Road to Trinder Road on to Springfield Road and along the Track to Lockinge. We then passed our Best Mate and the Rhino before turning sharp left to cruise down to coffee at the Grocers Chef. A lovely half hour or so catching up and sharing cycling stories or problems which I hope didn't put Rob off! Our return was up to the A417 and then down Laines barn road which has been repaired after a fashion. A lovely gentle ride with good company, thanks for joining me! | ||

Riders:Angie FisherChris Marchant Des Higgs Geoff Neill John Groves John Tranter Patrick O'Leary Riders = 7 Weather: Report:A bit of drizzle at the start didn't put off a good group setting off on wet and muddy roads across the Vale. All went well and we enjoyed good cakes and drinks at the Lush cafe in Watchfield. We then found a problem as the ride leader discovered a puncture which couldn't be easily fixed (it turns out that tubeless tyres are not perfect). John T took the group back while the support crew was called out. John G was also nursing a slow puncture but managed to get home with a few pump-up stops.All in all, a bit chilly and damp, but good to be out in the glorious Vale. | ||
