Riders:Barry StantonDavid Jackson Des Higgs James Bosley Karl Blake Robin Burridge Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 7 Report:A lovely morning for a ride out to Aston for coffee. A punctual start meant that we could head off just before 10 and beat the throngs who descend on Aston for Sunday Lunch. As we approached great Brook road Barry flew off, I thought he was getting the coffees in, however I soon discovered that this was not the case, he had in fact stopped for a comfort break! We arrived at Aston at 11 and were treated to a very relaxed coffee and some great cakes. We were joined by a new rider Robin Burridge who had no trouble keeping up with our 2* pace, his free wheeling behind me spurred me on and the usual crew of Des, Karl and Barry kept me going, and Barry ensured that the pace was maintained even in the wind heading back. David and James appeared to cruise around the route and James took the King of the Hill as we went into Faringdon.A beautiful morning great company and a rather speedy 2*. | ||
