Riders:Bryan CharlestonDean Douglas Derek Boutle Des Higgs Jan McCabe Janet Charleston John Tranter Maurice Bawden Neil Mowforth Nick Dunton Peter Busby Stephen Quartermain Riders = 12 Report:A good turn out for this ride especially as the weather forecast did not look too great. However there was little wind and the temperature was around 17/18 centigrade. Janet Charlestton agreed to be sweep. As the ride was relatively flat the pace picked up quite quickly and my computer said that we average around 15.4 mph for the ride.The ride went very smoothly with no punctures to report and no wrong turns etc. The hills at Coleshill and Buckland stretched everyone's legs abit. The tea stop was at Lechlade garden centre as planned and as the weather was so nice we were all able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Around Charney Bassett their was a little rain in the air but nothing much. On the way back a few riders peeled off to return directly to their homes leaving about 4 or 5 of us to return to the finish at Grove. We arrived back at approx 4.45pm. We were very lucky though soon afterwards the rain came down!! | ||
