Riders:David JacksonDes Higgs Diana Whidborne Ian Shipton Karl Blake Marion Shipton Roger Postbeschild Sally Bensoussis Sarah Lewis Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Susie Turnbull Riders = 12 Report:A beautiful day for a lovely ride, clear blue skies, little wind and a gathering of happy cyclists. With 12 riders we split into two groups riding out through Denchworth, and Charney Basset towards Shellingford.As is becoming customary leader Steph had a minor mechanical with a slipping seat thanks David for sorting this. As Susie's group had surged ahead we made haste, eventually catching sight of them in Shrivenham. On through Bourton we were further fuelled up the hills by the thought of coffee and cake at Ashbury. A lovely place to stop for a chat, we enjoyed our refreshments and great coffee, which all enjoyed. The only disappointment was that they have stopped selling almond croissants,! As we left Ashbury along the springline we were spoilt with great views of the vale in bright sunshine, and grateful that the return journey was mainly down hill with a tail wind. The hill from Knighton was such fun. Sarah Lewis was flyng at this stage with the thought of cocktails and barbeque awaiting her and we sped home with ease. A great ride and a lovely route thank you Susie Turnbull for the addition to our 2* programme. | ||
