Riders:Alan BerryAndrew Wornham Eddie Little James Pearson Paul Scofield Paul Wensley Selene Moquet Simon Atkin Riders = 8 Weather: Report:We had a great turnout of 24 riders between the two groups, 8 riders in my group & 16 riders in Dave’s group, 5 riders sent their apologies, otherwise i would have been up to a record breaking 13 riders. I’m sure that will happen during the coming months. It was a pleasure to welcome Andrew on his first ride with us. The views from the Ridgeway were as usual amazing. We tried out a few new bridleways around the Hendred area, which didn’t disappoint. All riders safely back in Wantage for around 08:15pm. Thanks to everyone for a very enjoyable evening. | ||
