Riders:Barry StantonBrendan St John David Jackson Des Higgs Gareth Smith Gerry Jones Ian Howland Julie Haynes Karen Bunting Karl Blake Val Smith Riders = 11 Report:This ride took place on a very hot day. The temperature was 28C as we met in Grove and was still 25C towards the end of the ride. However, my initial concerns about the heat making riding difficult were unfounded. Once we were cycling the movement of air made riding much more pleasant. The heat was still very apparent whenever we stopped although it was noticably cooler to stop in the shade. The route selected for us was not too hilly - especially important on such a hot day. This route, along with finding riding OK in this heat and the usual good company made for an enjoyable evening ride.With eleven riders it was necessary to split into two groups on many of the roads. A particular thank you to Des Higgs for leading the other group. | ||
