Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:"The Long One"!This week's plan is to head out through Steventon and Abingdon to Besselsleigh and then back through Netherton, Fyfield and Charney Bassett. 53km, give or take, and we'll not be racing, but will still be going at a pace to get this flat ride done in around 2hrs 15 mins. |

Riders:Andrew RobertsonChris Walters Dan Cox David Ryan Des Higgs John Talbot John Tranter Paul Ryan Riders = 8 Report:Not quite as long as we'd hoped! Soon after Denchworth, "stopping" was the cry as Andrew's saddle bolt broke. Fortunately he had a spare (I still can't believe that anyone carries such an esoteric part!) and after 10 minutes or so we got rolling again - not before we'd suffered the indignity of being passed by first the 2* group and then by Steve and Alvaro in the 1* group.We caught the 1* group up, but the 2* group must have quit while they were ahead, and turned off our route... As we'd lost some time, we took the call to shorten the original route by going through Tubney and then into Southmoor before joining the remnants of the original route. The usual dropouts left the ride towards the end, and the Chairman grumbled we'd been going "pretty briskly" towards the end - it transpired he'd not had any tea though! The takeaway was well-earned! | ||
