Bluebells and Red Kites

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 1:30 pm	Start Location: Woodcote
Description: A Wantage special to enjoy the Chiltern Beech woods, the bluebells and the red kites. Meet Woodcote village green for a 30 mile ride to the Chiltern Sculpture Trail at Christmas Common and back via Turville Heath and Bix. Please bring refreshments.
Riders: Alice Robson Barry Eastwood Brian Hipwell David Bridge David Roberts Des Higgs Edith Hipwell Eve Thornton (decd) Ginny Henderson Glen Savegar Jo Bindloss-Gibb Lucia Singer Stephen Quartermain Riders = 13 Report: Unfortunately, I was unable to lead the ride having pulled a muscle the evening before and Alice kindly stepped in to take my place (many thanks). Quite fitting as this was a ride she had introduced me to last year. I understand that 13 started the ride but that the attrition rate was rather high - with only 5 completing the ride back to Woodcote. Good to hear that Eve was out again and that Lucia and Dave R joined us too. Hope you all enjoyed it. Steve S
