Riders:Barry StantonChris Bailey Jo Little Katherine Boyce Lisa Footner Paul Smith Sharon Bedford Riders = 7 Weather:  Report:A reversal of a familiar route led to a different feel to the ride. We had quite strong head/cross winds heading up chain hill and out to Great Shefford before a great cafe stop at Priscilla's. Then onto Lambourn and Ashbury before heading back to Wantage, the last few miles were helped by a tailwind by then. Lovely views of the countryside with loads of snowdrops everywhere. Great company, and special thanks to Barry for continuing my climbing lessons. I had plenty of opportunities to practice them today! Thanks everyone for being such a great group to cycle with and it was really nice to see Lisa and Chris on their first rides with the club for a while. | ||
