Riders:David BrownDavid Yearley Richard Anstis Robin Tucker Riders = 4 Report:The wet conditions captured a victim this night - on a fast and chalky/rocky descent, David Y lost it and plunged into the bushes, being saved from rolling down the hill by a barbed wire fence - ouch! He now has a line of 6 equi-spaced holes in his leg, but fortunately nothing more serious. I'd show you the picture, but this is a family website.David B's gears gave some trouble too - the rear cable seized up no doubt in response to many months of harsh treatment. (Memo to self: put some lube on my cables). Apart from that, where did we go? Over to Wantage then up Lark Hill. [Stop to turn DB's bike into a 3-speeder]. Turn left and up to the Ridgeway. Over the back and down to the road, then a U-turn and back up. Straight over and down towards Betterton [stopping half way to pull DY out of the bushes and check him over]. Then left and back to Wantage by road and Grove via cycle path - we'd had enough action by then! | ||
Distance:22.53 km (14.00 mi) | ||
