Riders:Barry StantonDavid Jackson Des Higgs Gerry Jones Karl Blake Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Riders = 7 Report:Not a very nice start as it started to rain as soon as I got to Old Mill Hall. David kindly lent me a waterproof although after Charney I was too hot so it was back in Steph's bag. We kept a very brisk pace to coffee at Coleshill, via Fernham and Coxwell. I must say the coffee and cakes were excellent and it wasn't too busy. After coffee David discovered Steph's bike had blown over and the rear mech had bent into the wheel. Good old Karl carried out a temporary repair to get her home with a repair appointment booked with Karl for Sunday.We stopped at my place for an extra cup of tea or coffee which we all agreed on. A very enjoyable ride with a very good group and no problems (apart from Steph's bike problem). There was no more rain either! Thank you all, Des | ||
