Riders:Chris WaltersDavid Bridge Derek Boutle Des Higgs Ginny Henderson Jan McCabe Janet Charleston John Talbot John Tranter Maurice Bawden Neil Mowforth Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Tony Smith Riders = 14 Report:The sky looked ominous at the start, but heading off we encountered the first problem, taking a diversion around the roadworks near Goosey. Wind assisted, and passed by two large groups from Norwood Paragon club (Des and Derek seemed up for a race, but I didn't fancy their chances), good time was made up to Lechlade and down the "agricultural" Mill Lane, heading through Gainfield against the wind to Aston for tea, where we chanced upon a couple of Witney members. Maurice Managed to puncture (again!) at Old Shifford, and after fixing it, some folks drifted off to their respective homes on the way back to Grove. | ||
