Riders:Carin TranterDavid Bridge Des Higgs Diana Whidborne Ellie Hollick John Groves Josh Hollick Judith Hollick Lizzie Hollick Lizzie Long Patrick O'Leary Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Susan Holdroyd Riders = 14 Report:After early reports of rain for this weeks ride it was a pleasure to wake to bright sunshine, perfect conditions for the last family ride of the year, and the first of the new season!We had a healthy turn out of 14 riders including 3 youngsters Lizzie, Joshua and Ellie Hollick accompanied by mum Jude who joined us for their third ride. We decided to split into two groups at the start with Joshua, and Lizzie setting the pace for the first group, and Ellie on her new bike with gears, and Jude riding with the second. We met at Charney Bassett green for a photo and refreshments, at which point Joshua, having cooled down decided it perhaps was a good idea to adorn his fleece! John, Susan and Patrick took this opportunity to extend the ride and headed out to Longworth before joining us at Stanford for coffee and cake. Following a lovely social break and wonderful refreshments at Stanfod Cafe conditions remained favourable for the rest of the ride. In all a very enjoyable ride, with great company! Special thanks to Des, and Carin for leading and to Di and Roger for sweeping! | ||
