Report:Guest Riders. Andrew Hares.John Rolland. Simon Sparrow. Stan Tyack. Tim Froud. Chris Jeffers. John Snell. Jay Masters-Read. Tim Watson. Nigel Faulk. Daniel Glover. Mark Lovegrove. John Rushton. Martin Gillott. What a fantastic turnout along with great weather, not too muddy. 18 riders with one pulling out very early as they were recovering from flu. No incidents on the way out, after the mulled wine and mince pies we had several unintended dismounts and a lost phone on the way home. No injuries and the phone was recovered. A very enjoyable ride. | ||
