Riders:Dan RolfeDavid Jackson Jonathan Lewis Karen Bunting LeeAnn Norris Lorna Swanton Roger Postbeschild Sarah Lewis Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Tony Clark Riders = 11 Report:We were blessed with a beautiful sunny morning and little wind for the ride and it was great to see 11 riders!With a larger group we split into 2 with Lorna leading the second group of Steve, Jonathon, Sarah and Karen. Our group of Lee Ann, Jon, David, Roger and Tony followed the planned route to Childrey Holloway up Ickleton Road and then enjoyed the rather quieter roads around the villages of Childrey, Westcott and Sparsholt, before joining the springline to Woolstone. We were pleasantly suprised that the road was not too busy and took the ups and downs at our own pace before meeting up at the junction into Woolstone to admire the stunning views of the horse and Vale. With the hills behind us the ride home was a breeze and we flew home via Uffington, Baulking and Goosey. A lovely morning with great company, it was also good to finish the morning off with a coffee and refreshments at Parsons. Thank you Lorna for taking on the second group! | ||
