Riders:Andy PixtonDavid Talboys Janet Charleston Jason Jones Nicole Pethybridge Tina Tian Ursula Hallam Riders = 7 Weather: Report:The weather was perfect, and the daylight ideal for a longer ride tonight. A compact group of seven riders made light work of it. As the ride leader constantly checked the GPS to make sure we weren't breaching the 3* brief, there were no complaints. Even the waits at the top of hills were short, as the group stayed together comfortably. We eased off for a bit of socialising on the gentle climb to Ginge, bringing the average pace down to a legitimate 14.2mph. Welcome to Jason, on his first ride with the club, having discovered us by our shirts on a recent ride. Thanks to Ursula for sweeping a very tidy group. | ||
