Riders:Barry EastwoodChris Walters Derek Boutle Des Higgs Ginny Henderson Jan McCabe Jo Bindloss-Gibb Kevin Fairs Neil Warner Pat Hurt Phil Robbins Rex Belcher Richard Divall Sue King Teresa Belcher Riders = 15 Report:The crisp days of the weekend continued, leading to plumes of vapour trails as the toil of Chain Hill took place; Newbury RC seemed to be having an easier time coming the other way.Met with Chris just ovet the brow, and headed down through Brightwalton, on lanes that were in serious need of some TLC - it would have been smoother in some places to go off-road. Continued down and down to Boxford, doglegged to Welford, then took the long drag & steep kicker through Wickham. Cut through Winding Wood to Leverton, then back over the ridges to drop down to Upper Lambourn. The Malt had only had its restaurant open for a week, and while the qaulity was OK, the service could do with speeding up significantly; it's nice, but don't expect to get a quick snack and run...Richard was distraight that we wouldn't let him have a puddin' We eventually made back onto the ride, were Neil W promptly had a visitation from the faires on leaving the car park; he voluntered us on, and would race to catch up, so we ambled up, over & down to Ashbury, where he caught up. Right along the spring line, and it was time for people to start peeling off; Jan, Des & Derek went seperate ways at Compton Beauchamp, while Rex & Thresa peeled into home as we passed through Longcot. After the hills, the flattish route back through Fernham, Baulking & Denchworth was quickly covered, arriving back in Wantage around 4:30. 83Km done. | ||
