Riders:Angela Douglas (dec)Barry Baker Brian Hipwell Clive Elsmore Dave McLellan Des Higgs Diane Stuckey Edith Hipwell Jeny Nicholls Perry Morrison Philip Thornton-Evison Sally Powis Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Zixia Zhang Riders = 15 Report:Fifteen riders set off on a very windy evening towards Denchworth with the wind behind us and Des riding sweep. Through Goosey up the A417 and left towards Uffington with the wind still behind us! First left towards Kingston Lisle past Hale Farm, maybe a cross wind, but it still appeared to more behind us, even the hill did not seem too bad. Left and we were 'blown' along the B4507, another left through Westcot, onto Sparsholt and then right to Childrey. On the bridle path towards East Challow we still appeared to have the wind in our favour. We all put our lights on in East Challow to cycle up the A417 through the West of Wantage and back to Grove just as the sunlight completely disappeared over the horizon. I am really happy that I chose to do the trip the way we did, the other way around and we would have been fighting a head wind all of the way. I don't usually get this sort of luck! It was a most enjoyable ride. 27 kms.Diane | ||
