Riders:Barry StantonEddie Little Jo Little Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Lisa Footner Paul Smith Riders = 7 Weather:   Report:The weather forecast had looked promising, with no chance of rain in the morning. Unfortunately, it was wrong! We started off in the dry but ended up with cold rain that led us to cut the ride short, missing out Sparsholt Firs hill.There was a nasty incident early in the ride where a van cut up Joy, causing her to crash. Luckily she wasn't hurt and Barry fixed her bike (thanks Barry) so she was able to carry on. Thanks to everyone for being such a good humoured group to ride with and hopefully our next ride will be much dryer. | ||
