Riders:Alan Jones (dec)David Newnham Eve Thornton Jane Bruffell Jane Pearson Kevin Fairs Kevin Thomas Laurent Chambard Neil Warner Steve Bruffell Steve Swanton Riders = 11 Report:Turned up in Wantage could see snow on top of Ridgeway, it did seem nobody would want to do me ride. 9 riders, 2 extras for lunch.When we met everyone seemed keen even while we were standing in shoe shop lobby sheltering from the rain. As we got to the top of chain hill the snow was starting to settle very pretty. The ride to Goring was very hilly which kept us all quite wary. The highlight for me was Streetley Hill which I was warned about, but caught me out when I found my brakes wouldn't stop me, It was good to see Steve and Jane carry the first aid kit - thanks! Stopped at the Catherine Wheel for Lunch. Jane then joined us for the return leg whilst Kevin F took Janes car with strict instructions! We had a breakdown comming out of Goring when Jane P had a chain link sieze, fortunately Neil had his tool handy, learnt a valuable lesson about mobiiles - keep mine switched on! Did not get teh distress call quick enough. So we had to split for several minutes until Neil had fixed Janes stiff link. I think everyone enjoyed the ride, Jane was concerned when she saw her car overtake her at great speed. Kev. T. | ||
