Riders:Andrew MooreBrian Hipwell Christine Phillips Diane Stuckey Edith Hipwell Iain Kent Nigel Stuckey Richard Divall Richard Page Ron Dawson Roni Conyers Simon Dales Riders = 12 Report:11 riders set out from Grove under a clear blue sky to meet up with Andy and Ronnie at the fire station in Wantage. We cycled out on the B4507 turning right and passing through Childrey and on to Challow station. After a short stretch on the A417, we turned off to Goosey and through Denchworth (of course!) and on to Southmoor. Then down the A415 through Kingston Bagpuize to the busy Millets Farm, where we stopped for tea and cakes. Limited selection and everything priced at a pound, regardless of size or volume! Thanks to the beautiful weather, we were able to sit outside and appreciate spring in the English countryside. Back on our bikes again and eastwards to the Frilford traffic lights, where we turned north past the golf course. Left again through Tubney and through the tunnel under the A420 to Longworth. A circuit around there, then over the A420 pedestrian bridge into Southmoor and a bit later, we experienced the sight of Denchworth twice in one day! Thence to Grove, where after 52 km, we all said farewell and made our way homewards. Thanks to Richard for leading the ride and to Brian, who once again rode shotgun. | ||
