Riders:Andy BelcherDiana Whidborne Geoff Neill John Stamp Lorna Swanton Patrick O'Leary Steve Swanton Riders = 7 Weather: Report:Perfect weather for a cycle ride - sunny but not hot, with a gentle breeze. The route was fairly hilly for a 1* ride but we took it gently, pausing to regroup, to make sure everyone was ready to get into low gear for the 'Bridge of Doom' and the steep incline at Betterton, and just to catch our breath or admire the beautiful view. A few pauses also to negotiate passing walkers, runners, dogs, small children or other cyclists on the tracks. We all enjoyed the run down into Ardington and our stop at the Grocer Chef. John left us to cycle on to Didcot; the rest of the group returned to Grove via Lains Barn, the cycle path on Kingside, North Drive and the busy end-of-term car park at Old Mill Hall. A very enjoyable morning; thanks everyone, for your company. | ||
