Riders:Chris RollsDavid Talboys Katherine Boyce Louis Hall Nick Dunton Nick Stokell Richard Pethybridge Riders = 7 Weather: Report:Despite a gloomy weather forecast, this turned out to be a blissful ride. We had sunshine almost from the start and there was none of the threatened ice or wintery precipitation. It was chilly, sure, and roads were continuously wet with occasional standing water and muck. Conditions were vastly better than I expected, however. We avoided cycle-tracks owing to the muddy conditions: much to the scorn of the off-roaders in the group. An evenly-matched and strong peloton – plus the relatively flat route - ensured a brisk pace throughout: we were at Golden Balls before noon and back in Wantage by 2.30. No mechanicals or incidents to report. | ||
