Riders:Barry StantonDavid Jackson Des Higgs John Groves Lorna Swanton Roger Postbeschild Sharon Bedford Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Riders = 9 Weather: Report:How lucky to be out at the end of October in sunshine and shorts!It was great to see 10 riders out today making best of the morning. We headed out to Clanfield for coffee via Denchworth, Charney stopping briefly at the Buckland crossroads to have a drink and derobe and check all were ok. At this point Steve and Lorna decided to go a little slower as Steve's knee was causing him some pain. So we headed off towards Hatford when Sharon had a minor mechanical with her new saddle. Thanks David for catching us to let me know! Whilst we waited for Sharon Steve and Lorna sailed passed, and the hare and the tortoise sprang to mind  .All fixed thanks to Roger we continued through Hatford and up the track to the A420, at which point we met up once again with Steve and Lorna. We then enjoyed an unusually quiet stretch on the A420 into Littleworth and a beautiful descent towards Radcot. A then easy flat ride to coffee. A relaxed coffee chat and a few scotch eggs, sausage rolls and cinnamon buns later we rode off to Bampton. Our return was slightly shorter than planned due to floods in Great Brook, so we took the shorter route home via Buckland marsh, it was also slightly slower due to an unfit leader! The return journey was without incident and we finished the morning off with a lovely coffee in costa, Thanks Roger and all for your company and patience. | ||
