Riders:Adrian WestChris Walters Des Higgs Frank Schroer Jenny Williamson John Talbot John Tranter Sorrel Williams Riders = 8 Report:As we were waiting to set off the rain started. A heavyish shower that lasted as we went up past Lain's Barn and through Lockinge. It had mostly stopped by the time we got to Harwell though.It was obviously nutters on the road night tonight as there were some really stupid manoeuvres. We didn't let the petrol heads put us off though. The always surprisingly tough Hagbourne Hill stretched the legs and then it was plain sailing through Rowstock and Steventon in late evening sunshine. The Hanney Road was as long as ever and we took the quick way back to Grove having covered 25 miles in just over 90mins. Good effort everyone. | ||
