Riders:Andy PixtonChris Walters Dave Martin David Green David Yearley Janet Charleston John Talbot John Tranter Katherine Boyce Nick Dunton Nicole Pethybridge Richard Preece Robin Tucker Stephen Quartermain Steve Joyce Riders = 15 Weather: Report:It was a good turnout - 15 left OMH (and 4 others decided not to do the amended route for various reasons), and we left in rather nice conditions. Welcome to David Green on his first ride with us.The Vale was kind to us and we encountered very little surface water on the ride, other than at Fernham. A good thing really as a drive along the planned route over the Downs earlier in the morning found major floods, road closure and sewage ponds on the road, hence the change of plan. We lost Richard to "the phone call" at Faringdon. A lovely local lady made it clear that we were not welcome to park our bikes on the public road outside her house at the planned tea stop in Bampton, so plan C was hatched and we went onwards to Aston Pottery, before returning via Old Shifford and Kingston Bagpuize, adding a little distance on to the planned route, arriving back in Grove at 4:30, in plenty of time for Andy to get suited and booted for his gig. | ||
