Report:There were two 2* groups this evening. Steph took the other one round the same loop in the opposite direction. We welcomed new rider Andy Rimmer on his first outing with us.It was raining as we met at Old Mill Hall. However, after we had been riding a while the rain eased and we had a short stop just after Charney Bassett for some of us to remove waterproofs - followed shortly afterwards by the sight of rainbow. Our route took us across the A420 at Southmoor. The planned route showed a crossing of the A420 on the flat via Draycott Road but I chose to go across via Beggars Lane and the footbridge. This added some spice when we encountered a good growth of stinging nettles as we came to the ramp up. My apologies to all those in the group who were stung. The rest of the ride was less eventful but dry despite the heavy skies. It did rain again - but fortunatley after we were home or just about home. | ||
