Riders:Bridget LambertDerek Boutle Des Higgs Ginny Henderson Nick Dunton Steve Swanton Steven Rogers Tony Smith Riders = 8 Report:Good day with fine weather but chilly northerly wind. We changed lunch venue to Black Horse near Checkendon – only rolls on menu but a simpler option. One minor mishap with grazed elbow and brake hood. Nice to greet Bridget, who normally rides with the Oxford Section. Back in Wantage by 4.00 p.m. Total distance: 93km [58 miles]. | ||
