Riders:Chris BaileyJane John Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Lisa Footner Richard Ashford Sharon Bedford Yvonne Bird Riders = 8 Report:The dark storm clouds that were worrying me late afternoon disappeared to give way to a glorious evening. There is something very special about riding with a group of like minded cyclists over the Downs on a beautiful evening as the sun begins to fade and the sky takes on a pinkish glow.This was a hilly route (over 500m) but everyone tackled the climbs with enthusiasm and enjoyed the downhill rewards. One particular car driver is best forgotten - but we also met a much friendlier one who had obviously been watching Le Tour and pulled over to let us tackle the hill without dodging his vehicle and encouraged us along with enthusiastic shouts of “Allez Allez” A pleasure to lead such a great group. Special thanks to Jane who was my co-pilot when my Garmin had a wobble | ||
