Riders:Andy BelcherJohn Stamp Lorna Swanton Lucy Heneghan Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Val Smith Riders = 7 Report:It was lovely pleasant evening for a ride. There seemed to be a good level of conversations amongst riders. Couple of impromptu 'interest stops'; deers in field, views of the South Downs plus one rest stop. Generally the group stayed together and no one fell off the end. There weren't any untoward or near miss incidents. Arrived back a little late. Average speed 10.1mph and 18g of fat burnt off. Thanks to Andy Belcher for undertaking sweeper duties. Hopefully everyone enjoyed, pleasure to lead. | ||
