Riders:Andy PixtonBarry Farquhar Chris Walters David Smith David Talboys Janet Charleston Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Katherine Boyce Ken Pelton Nicole Pethybridge Riders = 11 Weather:Report:A stop-start beginning to the ride, lots of traffic, a road sweeper and a lost light before we cleared Wantage. Once that had been accomplished we had a pleasant evening ride, good views, lots of hares and a group of buzzards over the Downs.Despite the threatening clouds, we had the merest hint of rain, which was a relief after last weeks weather. Bit of a head wind on the way out that meant we had to pedal down to Seven Barrows rather than take advantage of the downhill. However this ensured a good run-in to the Fox at Denchworth where most of us paused for convivial conversation and refreshments. | ||
