Riders:Brian HipwellEdith Hipwell Judith Agnew Lorna Swanton Matthew Quartermain Phil Jeffery Sara Smith Stephen Quartermain Steve Boreham Steve Burr Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Riders = 12 Report:Good turnout of 12 of us for today, all extra keen following the cancellation of the January 1* ride!However, debate firstly re a tea stop, either a pub in Kingston Lisle (no cakes!) or get back to Grove for this. Rang tea shop who advised closed at 3pm! This seemed to be preferred option (cakes always essential!) so we targeted getting back in time, taking short cut missing out Uffington, only to find when I rang tea shop again they had had an evacuation due to fire nearby! Good ole Fox at Denchworth saved the day! A nice enjoyable ride, weather bright, and not cold once we got going! Felt like the start of the season for those of us who, admittedly, had not been out for a while... Thanks everybody | ||
