Riders:Angela Douglas (dec)Christine Phillips Clair Harding Des Higgs Diane Stuckey Ginny Henderson Helen Dorsett Kevin Fairs Nigel Stuckey Ron Dawson Stephen Quartermain Tom Millar Riders = 12 Report:Diane led the ride in the absence of the head honchos, who were all at the Birthday rides. Kevin arrived with young Tom, who seems to be growing up fast and was sitting very alert in the front seat on the bike. The group of twelve left Grove and headed past Denchworth and West Hanney, over the A415 and A420 to Appleton and the Farmoor reservoir. After a brief stop at the South African shop for provisions, we departed for Stanton Harcourt, over the newly tarred and chipped surfacing (!) to the tea stop at Linch Hill Leisure Park. This proved to be a revelation to most of the company. Tea, cold drinks, cakes and ice creams were eagerly consumed at picnic tables overlooking the splendid sunlit fishing lake. This venue warrants a revisit! See 'tea stops' for more information. Onwards via Northmoor, the Rose Revived and Longworth to the bridge over the A420, to Southmoor, Charney Bassett, Denchworth and Grove. Well done to Angela and Clare, who survived the trip and bettered all previous cycling excursions. Distance 37 miles.Nigel | ||
