Riders:Brian HipwellCarin Tranter David Bridge John Tranter Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Val Smith Riders = 8 Weather: Report:A very sound group of 8 riders for turned out to be a very pleasant ride. Nice bright sunny day with "accurate" weather forecasting (ie no clouds - no wind - should not rain for a few hours!) Ride leader had a shortcut up his sleeve should the weather have been unkind but never needed...Route included a steep hill up to Kingston Lisle, I confess it was a bit steep for a 1*, but this hill now has now been named "One Star Hill". All climbed OK. Ride leader subsequently, and correctly, brought to book for stretching the pace a little too fast. Must have been looking forward to the cake stop! Tea stop at "Madisons" in Wantage, found that now Bay Tree Café - no wonder I could not find a valid phone number for them! Very welcome, knowing we only had a couple of miles left... Nice "back route" avoiding main roads, out of Wantage, courtesy of John T. Thank you all for a lovely ride, and Merry Chrimbo! | ||
