Riders:David JacksonDes Higgs Gerry Jones Karl Blake Lizzie Hardingham Lorna Swanton Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Riders = 8 Report:A beautiful sunny morning for a ride out to view the bluebells at Badbury clumps. It was great to have 7 riders out including Des and Karl, Lorna and Steve, David and Gerry and Lizzie to accompany me and humour me on another floral themed ride... Once you've seen one Bluebell you've seen them all!We went out the normal way via Denchworth, Goosey and Baulking before heading up Fernham Hill and onto Little Coxwell to see the pig with the sunglasses, and a few Bluebells in the village. The A420 was very busy and patience was required to cross safely, which thankfully we did, before riding onto Great Coxwell Barn, a truly splendid sight which we paused to take in. Lorna and Steve left us there and enjoyed a welcome break and snack. We tackled another hill up to Badbury Clumps and stopped to see the bluebells which were just peeping through. Note to self do this ride 2 weeks latere next year!! We then went down to Coleshill, across to Buscot looking out for Jason Donovan as we went, but he was rather elusive. We then took an extended route around the beautiful villages of Little Farindon, Langford and Alvescot before stopping at Blakes for a very welcome lunch. With our tanks refuelled we headed home via Bampton, Buckland Marsh, and Charney Bassett. A lovely ride with great company, thanks to all. | ||
