Riders:Barry EggbyBarry Stanton Calum Ferguson Chris Bailey David Jackson Jo Little John Groves Nicole Pethybridge Paul Bentley Richard Pethybridge Sharon Bedford Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 12 Weather: Report:Good weather and not much traffic meant very good cycling conditions and we made good time to the main climb of the day - Ashbury Hill - before a ride against a headwind to Lambourn.Once through Great Shefford the lanes provided some great views over the countryside. Saddlebacks was quite busy but we all managed to get a drink before the lovely descent down Chain Hill. Barry S. was unfortunately stung just above his eye, which was painful and has now swelled up very badly (see photo on facebook). It was good to have David back on a ride, though he has decided hills and just mended broken bones don't always go well together! Thank you to everyone for being such a good humoured group and a special thank you to Nicole for her sweeping duties. | ||
