Riders:Carin TranterDes Higgs Gareth Smith Lorna Swanton Sarah Macaulay Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Val Smith Riders = 8 Weather: Report:A good turnout of 8 riders for our first Thursday 1* ride of the year. Good to see Des out on his new ebike, at last!There was light rain falling as we arrived at Old Mill Hall but this soon blew over to be replaced by some very welcome sunshine. After all the recent rain there were a few large puddles about and we were unfortunate enough to be passing through a wet stretch by the railway when a car, approaching too fast, inconsiderately splashed some of the group. Somehow there seemed to be a surprising number of cars about in the Vale today. We enjoyed a leisurely and very sociable ride with stops in each of the villages for a brief rest and a natter. We benefitted from a nice tailwind out to West Hanney and then had to work our way back into the wind through Charney almost to Goosey before we could enjoy a push back home. David B met us as we arrived back at the edge of Grove and then joined us for coffee and cakes at Cornerstone. The 2* group soon arrived as well. Thanks everyone for your good company and a mellow morning. | ||
