Riders:Barry EggbyBarry Stanton Calum Ferguson Chris Bailey Eddie Little James Bosley Jo Little John Groves Jon Townsin Julie Haynes Nick Dunton Roger Turnbull Sharon Bedford Susie Turnbull Yvonne Bird Riders = 15 Weather:  Report:A very nice turn-out of 15 riders for this half day ride with perfect riding conditions!We decided to split into 2 groups for safety purposes. Team Eddie. Thanks to Jon T for sweeping for me. Team Jo. Thanks to Jo for leading, to Yvonne for sweeping. The first half of the ride was very enjoyable & incident free. As usual Aston Pottery served up excellent drinks & cakes!! On the second half of the ride Sharron accidentally missed the Great Coxwell turn resulting in her riding the full length of Coles Hill  The leader Jo had to chase Sharron down eventually catching her up at the other end of Coles Hill  Jo's Strava recorded an impressive 37.8mph for that section of the ride!!It was very nice to see Roger & some of the other riders in my group stretching there legs along Baulking Lane. A fun day with good company!! | ||
