Riders:Chris BaileyEddie Little John Tranter Katherine Boyce Lisa Footner Roger Postbeschild Sharon Bedford Riders = 7 Weather:Report:Seven of us set off from Wantage on a chilly & cloudy morning. The ride was lumpy from start to finish with all riders managing with ease. Traffic was reasonably light with most drivers being very courteous which was nice to see.We had some fantastic views of the snow drops & daffodils, also a sighting of the ponies grazing in Snelsmore. We stopped at the Hampstead Norreys Community shop/ cafe where we all enjoyed some hot beverages & bacon & egg baps/ special sausage rolls & other fine fare. As usual the service was excellent! On the return leg we experienced a very strong head wind which tested all riders to the limit! Hats off to all riders!! A great ride with excellent company! | ||
