Riders:Barry EastwoodBrian Hipwell David Bridge Derek Boutle Des Higgs Edith Hipwell Eve Thornton Ginny Henderson Henk Altmann (deceased) Jan McCabe Peter Clayton Richard Divall Richard Page Robert Wyatt Simon Dales Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Riders = 17 Report:Left Grove at 13:10. There were some problems keeping the group together as some could not maintain more than 11-12mph whereas the speed of those at the front tended to creep upwards. Probably in future it would be best to keep the slower ones nearer the front.As planned we used the Moors ditch cycleway between Appleford and Didcot. This was adequately metalled for most road bikes. Steve led us through Didcot and towards Upton on the Harwell cycleway. Again this was metalled with only a short bit of gravel track linking it to Upton village. To arrive at the cafe on time we took the main road from Upton to Ardington arriving at 15:35. Which just goes to prove that we could have done the full route. | ||
