Riders:Alan FisherAngie Fisher David Jackson Jayne Wensley John Tranter Julie Haynes Laetitia Barrett Paul Wensley Selene Moquet Steve Swanton Riders = 10 Weather: Report:It was hot, but a lovely evening with a bit of breeze to keep us cool. A lovely group appeared and it was particularly nice to welcome Laetitia on her first ride with the club. We split into two groups and thanks to Steve S for ably leading the second group. All went well and the Vale looked amazing. For me, the highlight was the hidden church, pond and manor house at the back of Longworth and the path along to Hinton Waldrist - one of my favourite corners of our patch.About half of the group stayed at The Fox for refreshments and the other half headed back to Grove. Thanks to all for your company on such a great evening. | ||
