Riders:Chris BaileyDavid Jackson Eddie Little Jo Little Joanna Houlston John Groves John Tranter Nick Dunton Sharon Bedford Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 10 Weather: Report:We were lucky enough to have a warm, sunny day that didn't get too hot. There was a strong headwind at times (thank you to Chris for taking the wind for me on a tough stretch).We split into two groups with a small gap between, to avoid annoying the car drivers too much (thanks to John for leading the second group). Aston pottery was great, as always, with both cakes and flower beds to enjoy. A great group to lead and an enjoyable ride through the country. | ||
