Riders:David BridgeDes Higgs John Tranter Kevin Eveleigh Lizzie Hardingham Paul Bentley Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 7 Report:Rather disappointing to see the rain this morning, although thankful for sunny company and mild conditions. A straightforward ride out to Baulking via Denchworth and Goosey, we then headed towards Fernham where unfortunately Paul found he had a puncture. Being a true gentleman he ushered the group on to avoid getting cold and fixed it himself. We headed on up the hill out of Fernham and on towards Faringdon. Steph and Kevin got lucky and made it across the A420 in what appeared to be the only gap in traffic. Thank goodness for the Christmas spirit two lorries saw that we were waiting to cross and stopped to wave us over- Merry Christmas! The ride into Farindon was smooth and rewarded by a great coffee, cakes and company good to see Karl who was waiting for us! Paul had caught us up and so a convivial time was had by all. With the wind in our sails thee ride home via Hatford and Charney was uneventful. A great ride with super company shame about the weather! | ||
