Riders:Adrian WestAndrew Johnson Chris Walters Des Higgs Frank Schroer John Talbot John Tranter Riders = 7 Report:The threatened poor weather fortunately failed to materialise apart from some wind. Driving up on the A419 gave a little entertainment from the time-triallists who were getting buffeted by the wind and the passing lorries.Fist incident was a great big bang coming from Des's back tyre, and the resulting inner tube having 6 or so holes in it! It was a useful breather anyway. Lunch was taken in the bakery at Northleach before immediately climbing a mean little hill on what is now becoming the "Walters after lunch hill test". Beautiful Cotswold villages followed until the lurid honey-spot of Bourton-on-the-Water was reached. Quickly passing through, we all made it up the challenge of Little Rissington hill before some delightful lanes took us back to Whelford for a spirited dash back with the wind at our tail. Another puncture was much less dramatic in intensity, but the hissing sound went on for quite a while. A long and tiring ride, quite often fighting the wind, but very enjoyable and rewarding. Well done for making it around, everyone. | ||
