Riders:Andy BelcherJohn Stamp John Tranter Lorna Swanton Mila Yearley Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Susie Turnbull Riders = 8 Weather: Report:An excellent day for a ride, fantastic wall to wall blue sky and excellent views. And judging by the chatter a good sociable ride. Some traffic going out to Ginge and one short section of wet/mud on entering Ardington. ‘Bridge of lesser doom’ still a tad scary, at least for the joint leader. Enjoyable coffee stop in the sunshine at the Grocer Chef Ardington. John | ||

Riders:Angie FisherDavid Bridge Des Higgs Geoff Neill John Groves Patrick O'Leary Peter Dalgliesh Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Stephanie Haddrell Terry Ryland Riders = 11 Weather:Report:Glorious sunshine - we enjoyed it whilst we could!A nice, easy, wind assisted run out to Appleton where we all basked outside in the sunshine. Slightly harder on the return run. It was so warm that yours truly even exposed his knees - much to the consternation of Steph who hadn't realised that I could maintain decency whist doing this! There were even reports of the natives in Tubney complaining about the whiteness of said exposed knees.... A couple of the usual suspects booked very late on to this ride....I am considering imposing a cut-off time for bookings. | ||
