Riders:Barry EastwoodDerek Boutle Des Higgs Diane Stuckey Eve Thornton Giles Biddle Jan McCabe Kevin Fairs Kevin Thomas Neil Lewis Rex Belcher Richard Divall Roger Payn Sue King Teresa Belcher Riders = 15 Report:I made it 99.5Km for those that started at Wantage, with some joining after a fast dash trying to keep up with Diane at Farringdon. Then onto the Barringtons via Langford and Filkins with an extra loop via Aldsworth for some.Lunch at The Fox Inn, Great Barrington, good food, good beer (Donningtons) and excellent service, we were then able to climb the mandatory couple of hills straight after lunch in a loop north of Burford, decending through Swinbrook to cross tha A40 for Brize Norton. A quick stop in Bampton and onto Aston Pottery for tea, which was shut. Fearing an imminent lynching, we did a quick loop through the backroads to cross the Thames at Tadpole bridge, and back to back via Charney Basset to Grove. Our numbers now depleted with the loss of the Farringdon, Longcot and Abingdon contingents (and what happened to Derek?), we stopped for tea and coffee at Dianes before braving the cold for the last couple of K to Wantage. | ||
