Riders:David BridgeDes Higgs Ernie Trimble John Groves Karl Blake Kevin Hazell Patrick O'Leary Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Sally Bensoussis Stephanie Haddrell Terry Ryland Riders = 12 Report:What a gorgeous morning for a ride and so lovely to see 12 riders out, including Sally!With 12 we decide to split into 2 groups with Steph led the front group with Terry, David, Kev, Patrick and Sally, whilst Des led the second group of Roger, Karl, Ernie John and Paul. we headed out to Ardington via Laines Barn so lovely to see the sunshine and lambs. We met up as we crossed the 417 to go into Ardington and then did a circular tour of the village before using the cycle path to return to Wantage...Except Des and Roger's group went to Ginge ha ha. Unfortunately Karl had a problem with his nipple and had to walk back to Grove. We then went along Springfield road and Trinder road and Ormond road towards the Letcombes, the sun kept shining and the beauty of our local countryside was stunning! having tackled Holborn Hill we paused for a break and then watched Patrick spurred on by the smell of coffee whizz past us down into Childrey. A lovely relaxed coffee break and a chance to catch up with the second group, and great that Karl joined us too. So Steph's group decided they were having such a lovely morning we extended the planned route and went out to Westcott and Kinsgston Lisle before heading back via Baulking, Goosey and Denchworth. It felt a real priviledge to have great company and be able to visit some of our most beautiful local villages in glorious sunshine. On arrival at Old Mill Hall we said our goodbyes and I went in search of the second group, only to find them in Parsons, they decided to take the original shorter route back. | ||
