Riders:David SmithFrank Schroer Jason Jones Jerry Bird Phil Ward Ruth Fisher Simon Payne Riders = 7 Weather:  Report:The 7 of us set out towards Farringdon via Littleworth in to fairly stiff headwinds but good group riding and sharing the load meant we made good progress. The leader briefly became the sweep on the short hill in to Faringdon where we regrouped. After crossing the A420 at the quietest I've ever seen it we heard the dreaded sound of a snapped chain, the urge to accelerate was clearly not the only thing that was strong!Phil "grease monkey" Ward quickly shortened Ruth's chain and we were off again with a reasonable tailwind. Frank "Monet" Schroer stopped to take photos of the Sunset at one point. A great evenings ride, thanks to everyone for coming. | ||
