Riders:Barry EggbyCarin Tranter David Bridge Des Higgs Diana Whidborne John Groves John Tranter Karl Blake Lizzie Long Lorna Swanton Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Val Smith Riders = 13 Weather: Report:A really excellent group of people to ride with, which made it a very good ride. I promised a ride on roads that you had never ridden before and I think I honoured that. We had a good lunch stop at Buscot (a first for most) after a trip down to the river Thames to hear stories of brandy distilling.This was a bit lumpy compared to other 1* rides, but everyone handled it exceptionally well and kept the group together. Thanks for a good ride with good company. 'old man' Des | ||
