Riders:Amanda SeddonAndy Cullen Angela Sanders Chris Walters Chris Wilder Dan Cox David Emms David Smith Des Higgs Frank Schroer Ginny Henderson Janet Charleston John Tranter Jon Seddon Liz Green Maurice Bawden Nick Dunton Peter Busby Peter Greenfield Philip Thornton-Evison Thomas Charleston Tony Smith Riders = 22 Report:They kept coming! In all, 22 riders set off on the 3* ride - such a big group we had to split it into two smaller bunches. A big welcome to Andy, Liz, David and Peter who haven't ridden with us before. John T led the advance party out, not able to substantiate his claims of going up the Tourmalet last week (OK it was in a car so doesn't count!) with a level of fitness to match.First incident where the second group nearly caught the first group between the Letcombes, when two very inconsiderate horsey types were riding in the road with 3 little dogs running around and not under control. The first group got away a little, when I remarked to Ginny about what a slog it would be up Hackpen against the wind. Going above and beyond the call of duty, Ginny managed to contrive a broken spoke almost immediately, and the wheel was most definitely not round, so Tony had a go at straightening it, before they limped home. After that we didn't see the first group again. After the slog of Hackpen (I had been right!) came the descent down towards Lambourn, with a little rain being felt, and turning more persistent as we climbed Seven Barrows. Following the Blowingstone plummet, we kept up a pretty decent pace back to Grove, apart from those who cut the ride short to go home. Top ride - it was amazing to see so many new faces, and to get so many people out on a 3* ride! | ||
