Riders:Riders = 0Report:Weather:Fairly sunny, dry, chillyNumber of riders 17 route: Grove, Dencworth,Charney Bassett, Southmoor, Longworth, Appleton, Eaton, Wootton, Dry Sandford, Marcham, Frilford, tea stop at Millets Farm, Kingston Bagpuse, Charney Bassett, Denchworth, Grove Distance approx 29 miles The day started with a very enthusiatic new rider from Didcot, Laura, following me over to Grove (by car) for the 1pm start. We were just about ready to start when Gary turned up to join the ride.Nice to see him back. There was a slight amount of snow in the air just before we left as well and I wondered if we were in for more. Both Neil and Edith gave their new bikes a test run on this route. Neil on a new fixed gear bike. The ride ran fairly smoothly over the route above and we arrived at Millets Farm about 3pm for a welcome teastop. Bit of a shock to find that the toilets are no longer in the restaurant but to the side of the farm shop - especially when you are dying to go!! We were also met by Angela, Kevin, Tom and Wen at Millets. Derek headed for home after the teastop with Ginny leaving us just before Denchworth to head back to for Hanney. Those left arrived back at Grove at 4.30pm. The only real event that I was aware of was that I picked up a slow puncture sometime after Millets Farm. Fortunately the tyre stayed inflated enough to get me back to Grove and was soon fixed that evening. Steve Q | ||
