Riders:Diane StuckeyEve Thornton Jan McCabe Kevin Fairs Pat Hurt Rex Belcher Richard Divall Robert Shaw Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Teresa Belcher Tom Millar Wenfeng Yang Riders = 13 Report:As promised two rides, one slower (9 riders) and one faster (4 riders) set off from Grove, but in opposite direction. The faster ride was strongly lead out by Pat into a punishing headwind, whilst Richard lead the shorter route. The longer ride made it way to Wantage, onto Sevehampton. The rough track leading to the tea stop at Roves Farm (Nr. Highworth) took its toll and resulted in the first and only puncture of the day where the groups were reunited for well-earned rest. Much excellent chocolate cake was devoured before the two groups again split for a fun ride back with the tail wind resulting in an even faster ride. Aided by the wind, Pat on his single speed bike even managed to summit first the hill at Coleshill. Once the slower group had been sighted, the faster group rapidly closed-in and over took to arrive back at Grove just before the promised rain arrived. Although Pat still had 3 riders with him he had swapped one Steve for the other !! Eve then continued back to Abingdon, just to put some of us to shame.Rob S. | ||
