Riders:Andy CowanChris Walters Frank Schroer Geoff Covey John Talbot John Tranter Paul Jarvis Phil Stubbings Richard Preece Ursula Hallam Riders = 10 Report:With heavy showers all around a good sized group set off with some trepidation.Richard decided the pace was too hot and set off in search of the 2* ride early on. The rest pushed on around a lovely loop with only one climb of note in the Letcombes but two good descents. We made good time and managed to steer around all of the showers and kept completely dry returning to Grove at 7.50pm whilst it was still pretty light. | ||
