Riders:Alan Jones (dec)Amanda Seddon Barry Baker Darren Farmer Glen Paterson (deceased) Jon Seddon Martin Halliwell Pete Warwick Peter Clayton Riders = 9 Report:A chilly ride over the top of the Rideway at Betterton with the first puncture after climbing Hernehill Down. That marked the pattern of the ride - once we hit the road again just before Catmore there were 4 or 5 more punctures and the snow began to fall.After a good 20 minutes trying to find shelter for those without punctures and some choice language for this with punctures we thought about setting off again. Then I punctured and we decided (or the weather decided for us) that we'd bail out and head for West Ilsley and back over the Ridgeway. We met Alan on the way back and he too decided to call it a day and join us on the downhill back to Betterton. For the guy whom I lost your details, can I only apologise - if you would like to send me your name (jon@prst1.fsnet.co.uk) I can add you to the riders list. | ||
