Riders:Kevin FairsLaurent Chambard Mary Weir (dec) Richard Divall Riders = 4 Report:Met the West Oxon Section (Kevin, Des, Derek, Barbara and someone whose name escapes me) at Millets where I resisted a bacon butty and then rode at a reasonable pace (slow for them) to the Red Lion at Castle Eaton, where unfortunately the service was diabolical with over an hour to wait for food. This was in contrast to our visit there in the summer, when despite the place being packed, service was very efficient.Split up after lunch, with the Wantage boys following Des back to Longcott (Des was somewhere in the distance) and then return via Balking. I ended up following the A417 back to Wantage whilst Richard and Laurent did Goosey and Denchworth back to Grove. About 60 miles in all. Kevin P.S. I always thought Mary rode with West Oxon, but Des didnt recognise her,so I've included her in our list. | ||
