Riders: Carin Tranter Des Higgs Kevin Hazell Lorna Swanton Patrick O'Leary Sarah Macaulay Susan Holdroyd Val Smith Riders = 8 Report: A very gentle ride to the Grover's Chef at Ardington. The weather was very good for the time of year so we made good progress to an old and tested coffee stop. Lost one rider in Grove but found him later. After coffee we noticed that the wind had got up so it made cycling back a lot harder - even the downhill past Lains Barn was harder than usual (thanks for my e-bike). The ride was very good with excellent company - thank-you, one and all.
Distance: 16.09 km (10.00 mi)
