Riders:Andy PixtonEddie Little Jo Little Katherine Boyce Philip (Pip) Jackson Sharon Bedford Riders = 6 Weather:   Report:A cold start to the day, but it slowly warmed up and stayed dry. We headed to Whelford Lakes for our first stop at the Magic Beans cafe - a welcome break with good food and plenty of room inside. We then enjoyed the great views around Castle Eaton before heading towards Aston pottery for the second stop and then home.A scenic route that everyone seemed to enjoy. A tough headwind at times - thanks for taking the lead then Ed. Great to welcome Sharon back to her first ride in 2025 with the club and thanks to everyone for being such good company. | ||
