Riders:Alan FisherAngie Fisher Anke Otto Carin Tranter Diana Whidborne John Stamp Lorna Swanton Martyn Wigmore Nick Portsmouth Riders = 9 Report:We were a little worried that the weather was going to be rather rainy for this ride, but it stayed fine almost all the ride. We had a good turn out, including two new people Alan and Angie - a big welcome to them. We split into two groups with Lorna leading the second group.We set off up to Denchworth, Charney and to Gainfield. We turned left at the crossroads and carried on through Hatford until we reached the main road (A417) where we crossed over through Shellingford and along almost to Fernham, where we turned off to Uffington. We stopped soon after this turn to look at the good view of the White Horse. It was downhill to Uffington and tea and cake at the village hall. A wonderful spread put on by Chris Higgs and a welcome cup of tea. We all had a good chat and catch up with friends old and new. We returned in two groups again with some additions from other rides. We came back via Baulking and Goosey to Grove. A fantastic anniversary ride and my thanks to Lorna for assisting with the leading. | ||
