Riders:Brian HipwellEdith Hipwell Helen Bloxham Helen Dorsett Jan McCabe Kevin Fairs Nicholas Stainforth Ron Dawson Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Riders = 10 Report:At last. Sunshine! A glorious day for the start of the Jubilee holiday and our regular Saturday ride. Due to holidays and other commitments we numbered only 10, so just one ride, investigating NCN route 5 en route to the Kings Arms at Sandford Lock for tea (or rather beer, soft drinks and crisps). Our only substantial hill of the day was Lains Barn and then it was on through the Springline villages to East Hendred. At Steventon we investigated the footpath to Milton beside the railway line, which Sustrans are to develop as a cycle path. Some clearance of the ground had already taken place but it is still somewhat lumpy. Alas one large muddy puddle had to be negotiated. Jan | ||
