Riders:David JacksonDes Higgs Diana Whidborne Karl Blake Lorna Swanton Patrick O'Leary Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Tim Waite Riders = 9 Weather:   Report:I was pleasantly surprised to find the number of riders surging to 9 on Saturday morning, despite the unsettled forecast. And everyone was still game at the start, despite the shower that swept in at quarter to ten. However, it was not cold or windy and the rain gradually eased over our first few miles. It was good to be out with signs of Spring aplenty. There were drifts of daffodils in the verges, cherry blossom in gardens and green shoots and white blackthorn blossom in the hedgerows to enjoy on our way.We stopped briefly for a breather by the little church in Lyford before continuing on to Charney Bassett. By the time we reached Stanford the rain had stopped. We enjoyed a convivial break at the coffee shop and Lorna and I found the small breakfast to be excellent value. Our return leg via Park Lane and Asti Equestrian was dry and uneventful, the rain holding off until we stopped in the OMH car park. Prefect timing. Thanks everyone for your good company on an enjoyably mellow ride to lead. | ||
