Riders:Angela SandersChris Walters Derek Boutle Henk Altmann (deceased) Matt Chambers Nick Dunton Peter Busby Philip Thornton-Evison Sorrel Williams Stephen Quartermain Steve Sanders Riders = 11 Report:It was a good turn out of riders for this moderate pace ride. We all kept up a good pace and averaged approx 13 miles an hour to the tea stop at Bampton - arriving there at 3pm. This seemed quite fast as we appeared to be against the wind most of the way and I took us on an unexpected detour through Uffington which was not on my planned route instead of turning right just after Baulking. I must learn to map read!! The route to the tea stop was reasonably flat also.Derek met the group on route near Kelsmcott and joined us for tea at the Bampton Coffee shop. The service in this cafe, which was new to me, was very good and the owner even gave each of us a piece of real turkish delight. Two thirds of the mileage had been covered prior to the teastop and therefore it was quite a pleasant run back to Grove afterwards with only the hill just after Tadpole bridge to slow us up. Even the weather was reasonably fair to us with only a small shower near Lechlade. We arrived back at Grove at 5pm. Also joining us on the ride was Rob Sutton, a guest of Sorrel's, from Bristol. | ||
