Riders:John TranterLouise Bowers Mila Yearley Patrick O'Leary Pauline Clark Peter Dalgliesh Roger Postbeschild Terry Ryland Tim Hoyle Riders = 9 Weather:  Report:A slightly misty start didn't put people off, although we did lose Angie to a pre-ride puncture. We had to negotiate road works on the A338 path before heading up the "Benchworth Road" path alongside the new King Alfred Way and then out on the lanes to Lockinge and Ardington. We then headed back through Wantage and out again to the Letcombes and a welcome coffee stop at the Cantorist in Childrey. it was a lovely surprise to see Des and Karl there, as well as Mila who had done a solo ride having missed the 1* group at the start. Mila then joined us for the trip home via Goosey and Denchworth.An incident free ride in great company - thanks to everyone for being there. | ||
