Riders:Andy CowanBrian Hipwell Edith Hipwell Lorna Swanton Sarah Shackleton Stan Cowan Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Riders = 9 Report:Summer at last! A beautiful, warm and remarkably clear afternoon to be out on the bike. There was even a breeze to keep us cool.We followed the route as planned stopping several times along the way for drinks. Tea was taken in the churchyard at Uffington - to make the most of the sunshine tables had been put up outside. I recommend the cream tea - very good home-made scones as well as all the cakes. Stan had been tiring on the outward leg, but refuelled with chocolate cake and a tailwind behind, he found new energy to make good speed on the way home and complete his longest ride to date. Well done Stan. We were back in Grove just after 5pm after a lovely mellow ride - thanks everyone. A few pictures to come... | ||
