Report:
What an evening for a bike ride - well, at least 19 riders, ready for a thrash around the vale thought so !!

We split into two groups, thanks to Kath for leading the second group, and headed off for a beautiful and pacey ride through mainly quiet lanes. Despite me asking several times, no-one seemed to want to go slower, so we completed the ride at the top of 3* pace and got back in good light.

The road closure at the 'Volunteer bridge' caused the only lozenge of cars on the way into Denchford and the 2* group gave us a good target to aim for on the way back to Grove.

The second group arrived five minutes later with no calamities to tell :)

Thanks to Eddie for sweeping the first group and Kath, if you could let me know who swept for you, I'll add them in too.
