Riders:Chris WaltersDavid Smith Frank Schroer Iain Kent Janet Charleston John Talbot John Tranter Richard Preece Sarah Shackleton Ursula Hallam Riders = 10 Report:I was expecting a lonely ride today being the Easter weekend so I was pleasantly surprised by the good turnout. It was a bit grey and damp as we set off and we had the occasional shower along the way but nothing worth putting a coat on for. We made good progress out to Lechlade and we all seemed to enjoy the many single track roads and being away from the traffic. A slight headwind on our return but generally conditions were good today. The sun came out just as I got home! A very enjoyable ride and good exercise. Well done to Richard and Sarah who coped very well with the challenge. Thanks to all. | ||
