Riders:Barry EastwoodBrian Hipwell Chris Walters Christine Phillips Edith Hipwell Jan McCabe Jane Pearson Peter Busby Richard Page Robert Shaw Stephen Quartermain Steve Bruffell Steve Swanton Riders = 13 Report:A fine day for a ride, good weather throughout and no mechanical problems. We managed three road closures, the A338 rail bridge at Grove was closed as were the roads at Eaton and Foxcombe. Still al were passable on a bike.We cycled from Grove through Southmoor up to Cumnor. The faster riders went ahead through Sandleigh then over Boars Hill and back through Abingdon to Chilton for tea. The rest followed down to Sandleigh and then passed around the old airfield to Shippon then through Abingdon to Chilton Nurseries. Brian and Steve Swanton went off-road to the Ridgeway and back to Grove, the rest either peeled off and made their own way to Abingdon or Wantage the rest completed the ride back to Grove Steventon, Cow Common and the A338 to Grove, as usual the West wind made the trek across Cow Common hard into the wind. The short ride covered 37.5 miles and the fast ride covered 40.5 miles. Steve | ||
