Riders:Barry StantonDavid Jackson Des Higgs Gareth Smith Gerry Jones Ian Howland Karl Blake Sarah Bowen Sarah Lewis Stephanie Haddrell Val Smith Riders = 11 Report:A lovely evening for a flat ride out to Uffington cool with a moderate breeze to encourage pace in order to get back to the Fox for well earned refreshments!We spilt into two groups one of 6 and one of 5 for the ride and a special thanks to Gareth for leading the second group! With the wind in our favour as we left Grove, we set off at a good pace and soon warmed up, getting into a comfortable rhythm. With no mechanicals and little traffic we made excellent time to Baulking, and just as we were discussing the state of the Uffington road we met a road closure sign, and so opted for the short cut through to the Fernham road from Baulking. From here there was just one focus beer and food, and the pace increased; Sarah was keeping up with me and I was keeping up with her and so we just got faster until the boys put us in our place and steemed passed us from the Buckland crossroads into Charney doing a steady 19 miles an hour, as we looked on in awe secretly hoping they would get the first round in! True Gentleman Des held back to keep us company and the others stopped and waited for us at Charney ( I think they wanted us to get the first round!!). We made it safely to the pub and enjoyed great company and joie de vivre over a lovely pint and meal, some of us even had puddings! We were also thrilled to see Lizzie who joined us for a drink. Thanks to all for great company and a lovely evening. | ||
