Riders:Adrian WestAndy Pixton Chris Gray David Bridge David Smith John Tranter Richard Delacour Richard Preece Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Ursula Hallam Riders = 11 Report:A bitterly cold day (freezing temperatures) with the first half of the ride going straight into a Northerly headwind. Chris was sporting his Summer 2013 shorts while the rest of us wore several layers and he didn't complain of cold once! A lovely tea stop to thaw out the arctic explorers/ cyclists and then a pleasant ride through snow flurries back to Grove via the West of Eynsham and the hill up to Buckland. A very pleasant ride with no incidents although the potholes on most roads have become life threatening. I hope they get fixed soon. Well done all who attended. | ||
