Riders:Andrew RimmerChris Bailey Howard Houlston John Tranter Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Richard Ashford Sharon Bedford Riders = 8 Weather:  Report:A nice route courtesy of Sharon, meant we started on Main Street and down Cane Lane, we should do it more often . Lots of traffic prior to Sparsholt Firs, with all drivers but one being courteous and considerate. Great to wave at the MTB crew (thanks for the photo Richard) at Sevenbarrows. We were very impressed with their perfect timing  Howard’s first decent of Blowingstone Hill went well, not as swift as John’s, who as a veteran of the hill showed the rest of us how it could be done! Big leader fail when we discovered we were 2 down in Grove. Chris went to investigate and the others were persuaded to go home and I followed Chris to discover what was going on. Andy had a flat at the bridge and Richard had assisted. Another use of the CO2 canister before Grove and Andy made it home. Thanks to Richard and Chris for outstanding teamwork. My final evening ride of the season and a lovely ride to finish on. Great to have had such a good season despite pandemics, snow, wind, heat and rain! | ||
