I'm still not certain I managed to capture everyones name, but do contact me if I have missed you from the riders list!An enjoyable ride, and a group at least the length of Wantage market place (and more!) headed out with a chilling breeze for company. On reaching the outskirts of Letcombe Bassett however the group had depleted somewhat, with the more energetic members opting to ride off the front at a brisker rate whilst the rest of us continued at a 2* pace. Thanks Brian for your excellent sweeping! A fabulous turnout at White Horse Hill NT car park. A big thankyou to John, Carin, and Kerry for the real hard work of the day, preparing and co-ordinating the excellent mulled wine and mince pies, and most importantly collecting donations for the childrens mobility charity WhizzKidz ! Same time next year? Glen S | ||
