Riders:Adrian WestAndy Belcher Barry Gills Brian Hipwell Chris Walters Edith Hipwell Gez Cornish Glen Savegar John Stamp John Talbot John Tranter Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Riders = 13 Report:Spring had certainly arrived today! In fact temperatures would not have seemed out of place in mid summer!A bit of a busman's holiday really (being my occasional cycle commute to work!), but a lovely afternoon with excellent company. We were certainly blessed with end to end sunshine, and fab displays of daffodils as we passed through the countryside. A pleasant tea stop at Eynsham Emporium sitting in the courtyard, and then a gentle return via Stanton Harcourt on mostly quiet lanes (Just the occasional tractor and Porsche with its roof down), with a single ascent from river level at Newbridge. Even the short stretch on the A415 seemed pretty quiet today! Thanks everyone! Glen S | ||
