Riders:Brian HipwellDerek Boutle Des Higgs Diane Stuckey Ginny Henderson Kevin Fairs Nigel Stuckey Pat Hurt Richard Divall Sue King Wenfeng Yang Riders = 11 Report:A 30Km loop to West Ilsley via Chaddleworth was planned, but was shortened at every junction due to the foul weather, having started with a blat up Manor after missing out the Letcombes.Pat and Sue were spyed up ahead in the mist, so Des and Derek were despatched to stop them, but they missed the turns we had planned so we met them again at the pub. The rest of the group were also unable to see the fun in Chaddleworth, so that Village was missed, as was Stanmore as we made a dash in the rain through Bright Walton and Lilley to the Pub. The Harrow at West Ilsley was an expensive dissapointment, we were initially only offered sandwiches and burgers, although this did change after some clarification, and the complete lack of heating meant we froze. Returning the quick way through Farnborough, Pat and Sue continued to Uffington (why?) whilst the rest went home to get warm! | ||
