Riders:Alan BerryAlex Hales Andrew Wornham Eddie Little James Pearson Sarah James Tim Waite Wendy Berry Riders = 8 Weather:  Report:A pleasant ride with another good group of eight riders. It was noticeable how quickly the daylight was fading. We started the ride in cloudy sun with an enjoyable first half of the ride taking us along Old Street and Ilsley Down. As we descended from the Ridgeway back to Betterton, we were plunged into complete darkness. Luckily everyone had good lights which made for a nice night ride back to Wantage. Thanks to everyone for a lovely evening. | ||
