Riders:Anke OttoBarry Stanton David Jackson John Tranter Julie Haynes LeeAnn Norris Roger Postbeschild Steve Swanton Riders = 8 Weather: Report:A chilly start, but thankfully, frost free.One or two road closures, including Denchworth Road following the van fire last night - duly ignored as passable on bike. Barry was sporting his new GP Four Seasons tyres, after giving up on GP 5000. Thankfully, the Puncture Fairy stayed away. The only minor mechanical was Anke's modified front mudguard bridge. A cable tie stopped things coming undone - always a 'good to have' in your toolkit. Aston Pottery was well up to scratch - even though they had just run out of cheese scones...... I am pleased to report that Great Brook is easily passable - almost dry in fact. Anke scooted up Buckland Hill, with Barry in hot pursuit. The rest of us followed on at our own individual paces! Further coffee was taken by five of us on return to Grove - and we didn't lose anyone today. Thanks everyone, and particularly Steve for sweeping. | ||
