We met Andy B at Appleton to make it seventeen.A very pleasant evening with no wind for a change, hooray! A well matched group too so we were going quite quick for a 3* ride as there seemed to be no resistance from the air at all tonight and we were bowling along to Charney Bassett, Appleton and Cumnor.
