Riders:Andy PixtonBarry Stanton David Jackson Des Higgs Julie Haynes Michael Johnson Roger Postbeschild Riders = 7 Weather: Report:As per usual, these days, there was a blustery wind blowing from the west.Still, it wasn't cold and it was dry. So not all bad! The wind out to Uffington was testing, as expected. Thanks go to Des for taking the wind - just a shame that we couldn't all keep up! Thanks also to Andy for taking the sweep position - as usual, I didn't even have to ask. Fawler Hill saw Des go sweeping past me on his e-bike, with Andy in hot pursuit. Barry would normally join in this game, but not today. Going up the same hill yesterday may have influenced his decision...... Cantorist Farm was busy and it was good to bump into Eddie and Amanda there. Coffee was up to scratch. Andy left us then to go straight to Wantage and the rest of us returned, without incident, to Grove. Further coffee was then taken in Grove. It has been said that there is not currently much difference between 2 and 3 star rides. If you look purely at average speed, this would be pretty much true - we are normally within 1 kph. However, there are differences. 3 star rides generally have more hills and 2 star rides have more coffee and cake! | ||
