Riders:Barry EggbyDes Higgs Diana Whidborne John Groves Karl Blake Kevin Hazell Martin Hook Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Susie Turnbull Riders = 10 Report:A good turnout with good weather. Barry brought two friends with him from Abingdon and they left the ride before coffee. No incidents or mechanicals - the ride went very smoothly. We tried a new cafe in Faringdon, Mai's Cafe, which was a mistake as the coffee was not good - no taste or flavour - and the service was very slow. Food OK but not very well presented. One not to be used again. I apologise to all riders for this. Susy left us early at coffee so just 9 of us on the home run.Thanks you one and all for a lovely ride - except for the coffee! | ||
