Riders:Andrew JohnsonChris Walters Frank Schroer Geoff Covey John Talbot Paul Jarvis Peter Greenfield Phil Stubbings Riders = 8 Report:OMG it didn't rain!!! But it did decide to blow a gale insteadNice lumpy section past Lain's Barn to Ardington, Ginge and the Hendreds. Phil decided to add a few km by missing the turning onto Featherbed Lane and going via Rowstock! Great tailwind to Sutton Courtenay and a very pleasant ride over the Thames twice through Abingdon. Nasty headwind on the Hanney Road which was quite hard work. I went for the early sprint on Denchworth Dash but Chris and Geoff got me just before the end. Great ride everyone! | ||
