Riders:Carin TranterDavid Jackson Des Higgs Gerry Jones Lorna Swanton Michael Tayler Nick Portsmouth Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Riders = 10 Report:There were 10 riders so we split into two pods with Carin Tranter very kindly leading pod 2. My ride went first, but we had to stop at Southmoor for Michael to buy a bottle of water, so the second pod overtook (no problem).We took the bridleway from Longworth to Hinton giving wonderful views of Longworth Manor and the Thames valley. Pod 1 went back in the lead after the bridleway, we made good progress back to Grove where a few of us stopped for coffee and cakes purchased from Parsons. We sat on the wall like a row of delinquent teenagers! A very enjoyable ride with problems at all. Thank you everyone. | ||
