Riders:Brian HipwellChristine Phillips Edith Hipwell Gary Woodhead Helen Dorsett Jan McCabe Kevin Fairs Rex Belcher Richard Divall Richard Jenkinson Richard Page Robert Shaw Robert Wyatt Ron Dawson Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Teresa Belcher Riders = 17 Report:17 of us left Grove for a ride to Aston Pottery. We split into two groups just before Goosey, Brian Edith, Christine, Helen, Rob and Gary, took the longer route via Uffington, whilst the rest of us took the shorter option (Stanford, Gainfield, Buckland) to the pottery where it was sunny enough to sit out side and enjoy our Coffee Tea and Cakes. We d finished and were wondering what had happened to the hard riders, when they turned up explaining they d been delayed as Gary had been unfortunate and got a puncture from a drawing pin! But sitting in the sun waiting whilst the others had their refreshments was no problem!We all left as one group for the return trip via Standlake, then a stretch of main road before returning to the lanes via Longworth, Southmoor, passing Lyford (I meant to turn and go through Lyford, but was busy talking as we went past the junction and it was nice weather so I decided a few more miles would be fine rather than admitting my mistake! - no problem Jan we'll keep it to ourselves... S) and onto Hanney, before returning via Denchworth. Returned to Grove having done about 34 miles (39 for the fit group!) Jan Good also to meet Dave Free at tea. Steve | ||
