Riders:Barry EastwoodDerek Boutle Des Higgs Mavis Rose Neil Warner Pat Hurt Sue King Teresa Belcher Riders = 8 Report:Twisty little route in the morning; I kept tacking bits on, so we didn't arrive at the pub too early, so we ended up doing Denchworth, Charney, Kingston, Northmoor, Stanton, Cogges, Sutton, Eynsham and Farmoor, before the climb of Tumbledown Dick to Cumnor & lunch. Waited at the top and gave directions to the PH, and promptly managed to lose two - but they turned up safe and sound a few minutes later.Was a chilly day, but the sheltered garden and wan sun was warm enough to sit outside in, and Richard Divall then arrived just as we were set to go, having been dog sitting all morning. A quick diversion over Boars Hill, to work off the repast, then a swoop down to Bayworth, and back through Abingdon, Drayton, Milton & the Hendreds/Ginges to Wantage. Neil accompanied Me, Sue & Thresa to Uffington, where we were joind by Rex for a well deserved tea. | ||
