Riders:David JacksonDes Higgs Diana Whidborne Jan McCabe John Tranter Karl Blake LeeAnn Norris Roger Postbeschild Sarah Lewis Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Riders = 11 Report:Due to inclement weather forecast for Saturday the ride was changed to Sunday, a verry sensible suggestion from Steve S, thanks! We stayed dry and were able to accommodate more riders on Sunday so a win win situation.We rode as two separate groups, maintaining social distance. Thanks to John Tranter for leading the second group, which fairly early on became the first group as Steph had a puncture, just after Frilford Heath. Thank you to Des, Karl and David for coming to the rescue as it was a seriously damaged tyre and inner tube. I was very supportive( Ha ha) and Di and Sarah did a sterling job of keeping Morale high! Thanks to all for their patience. John's group of Lee Ann< Steve Jan and Roger took the opportunity to press on which was a bonus as they were hot on our heels from the outset. The weather throughout was cloudy but warm and at times a little breezy but considerably more pleasant than Saturday. The company was excellent and it was a real pleasure to be out with a group of friends. The pathway from Radley Lakes to Abbey meadow is very scenic and wasn't too busy; if a little muddy in the early stages, sorry Des if you had to go home and clean your bike! Sarah did very well coping with a chain situation, with an audience just at the busiest part of the ride in Abbey meadow- well done! It was lovely to catch up with John's group in the town square at Abingdon and the staff at Throwing Buns cafe were most welcoming and the cakes amazing. Riding back along the river and via the cycle path was a pleasure and the ride back was without incident. On our return we were all treated to some amazing brownies courtesy of Des's lovely wife Chris I think it was a unanimous 10 all round. Thanks Chrisx | ||
