Riders:Alan Jones (dec)Amanda Seddon Derek Boutle Edwin Divall Jan McCabe Jon Seddon Martin Halliwell Richard Jenkinson Steve Bruffell Steve Swanton Riders = 10 Report:The ride started with a detour to Steve B's, as, much to everyone else's amusement, Steve had turned up wear cycling kit & his best office shoes! The route went to Lockinge, up beside the gallops to the Ridgeway, along a bit, before dropping down though spectacular bluebell carpeted woods, round to West Isley, then back up and over the Ridgeway. We stopped on the way for communal puncture mending when 3 of us simultaneously got flat tyres, before descending to Chilton Garden centre.After refreshment we used the underpasses to cross the A34 and back again, and took the tracks in a straight line back to Wantage. Derek unfortunately got stuck in a rut, and fell off into the barbed wire, which gave Steve the opportunity to use his first aid kit. The rest of the ride was uneventful, with Steve B demonstrating suspension isn't necessary to ride down Ginge brook, and thanks to Steve S, for showing us some interesting back lanes in Wantage itself.
