Riders:Amanda SeddonAndrew Moore Angela Douglas (dec) Helen Dorsett Ian Hayter Jane Phillips Jon Seddon Kevin Fairs Liz Taylor Peter Clayton Philip Thornton-Evison Steve Swanton Val Smith Vicky Fox Wenfeng Yang Riders = 15 Report:Something slightly different this evening. Rather than a faster ride Steve led a longer ride with some off-road excursions. Unfortunately heading for Charney Bassett, Steve went one way (via Asti Stud, by accident) while kev took 4 by the direct route. Eventually, re-united the group then split with Angela, Helen, Vicky, Phil & Ian joining Steve for a ride to Duxford while Kevin took the rest for a potter to Southmoor and around.From Charney, Steve's group took the bridleway through Pusey and then continued on to Hinton Waldrist. There was a certain amount of egging-on to cycle through the ford on the Thames at this point. However, on being faced with the real thing, we all bottled it! Despite the dry spell, the ford was still quite deep and currents quite strong - so perhaps another day... Having climbed back up the hill to HW, we continued by taking the bridleway through to Longworth Manor and then crossed back over the bridge to Southmoor. Now, the group was faced with its second decision of the evening - Bullockspit Lane and this time we went for it. A bit overgrown in places and very bumpy at the southern end, but despite a few nettle rashes there were broad smiles at the other end. We returned through West Hanney and the track to Grove. Here alas Phil came off (this track is in the roughest conditions I can remember) but not a serious mishap. Back to Millbrook Square at 8:50 after a most enjoyable ride. Steve S. | ||
