Riders:Alan FisherAngie Fisher Anke Otto Carin Tranter John Stamp Lorna Swanton Michael Tayler Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Riders = 9 Weather: Report:Got lucky with the weather again - a glorious sunny evening, with a great turn out.Arranged to meet Anke in Wantage - part way round. Plus - with guidance from Steve S - Steve B was able to ensure the ride followed the planned route in the early stages in Wantage(!) Leader not sure of one of the cut throughs! All very relaxed with , plenty of time for stops, including enjoying the sunshine and fresh air at top of hill before descending to Ardington, via the nice long hill that we can all "freewheel" down - always good fun. Then, of course the nice long descent past Lains Barn........ Dusk was setting in by the time we were back at Grove, but nicely maximising the time available fr the ride - so all good. Thanks all for a lovely evening. and Thanks to Steve S for ensuring the billed route was followed(!) | ||
