Riders:Andy CowanAndy Newell Ellen Lee Helen Beane James Dawton Neil Warner Paul Jarvis Stephen Lee Steve Swanton Riders = 9 Report:Sixteen all told met at Aston Pottery, losing a few along the way, all went well until lunch. Our booking was mysteriously not logged at the Star and they had no food on. Due to a couple of punctures we were running bit late so diverted to Wantage for lunch. The Bear Hotel did a fine line in food and baled me out of a hole. The Wantage contingent rode out as far as Lyford with the departing groups and swung round back to Wantage. I must apologise for the lunch mix up. Fancy phoning a pub asking if there was any problem with 15 or so for lunch being told fine, telling them the date and just thinking it was all OK then.
