Riders: Carin Tranter Lorna Swanton Patrick O'Leary Sarah Macaulay Steve Swanton Riders = 5 Weather: Report: Not a day for the faint-hearted! Hi-viz outerwear, lights and warm layers helped a lot as we set out in the chilly mist, joined by the 2* riders who wisely decided they wouldn't attempt anything more ambitious than our potter up to Southmoor via Charney Bassett and back (through Hanney). Trying to keep warm, we sped round at faster than a usual 1* pace, and were glad of our cosy coffee stop. Des wasn't feeling too good, so Karl kindly cycled back to Grove for his car, returned and took Des and his bike home. Friendship in action! Everyone agreed that we wouldn't have ventured out if there hadn't been a club ride, but we were glad we made the effort. Well done all.
