Riders:Brian HipwellChris Marchant David Bridge Des Higgs Gareth Smith Geoff Neill John Groves Louise Bowers Patrick O'Leary Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 13 Weather: Report:A gloomy start, but the sunbeam out later, which was most welcome.13 riders on the two start in addition to a decent turnout for the 1 star made Millbrook car park a busy place. Thanks to Roger T for taking a second group and to Des for sweeping. We should have been a 6/7 split but the first group set off with only 5, Louise was apparently having trouble clipping in.... Due to a road closure on the Denchworth to Hanney road, we took a diversion via Charney Bassett. Louise caught us up after Fyfield, as we paused to cross the A415. At this point, Louise promptly fell off her bike. Loose cleats are very difficult to unclip! Loiuse and bike, still clipped in, were picked up and yours truly then tightened up both cleats. No further issues there! Stanford Coffee Shop was a busy place with all of us descending.....they coped admirably though. Thanks to all.....a good natured bunch! | ||
