Riders:Carrie KembletonNick Stokell Ruth Fisher Riders = 3 Weather: Report:Well if I'm honest I wouldn't have ridden this evening if I had not been leading the ride! But Ruth and Carrie turned up so we set off southwards in the steadily increasing rain. Just after Leckhampstead the inevitable occurred and Ruth had a puncture. This was quickly repaired by her despite a rather pathetic attempt by the leader to speed things up with a CO2 canister.With shoes full of water and a little cold after the stop we decided to shorten the ride heading back at Gt Shefford. Half way up Manor Hill Carrie announced that her rear tyre was getting soggy but it held up sufficiently to get back down to Wantage. Certainly one to remember (though we never did get that photo). Well done! (I can picture some of you 4* hard men hanging your heads in shame) | ||
