Riders:Barry StantonChris Gray David Jackson Des Higgs John Tranter Philip (Pip) Jackson Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 7 Report:Great to be out on a Saturday morning 2* and delighted to see Chris Gray out on his first ride of the season It was a pleasant morning dry but with a chilly breeze, so after a minor mechanical with Chris's bike we rode on the planned route to Baulking, some damp roads but nothing impassable and at a steady pace to keep the blood pumping. We road through Uffington avoiding potholes and onto Shrivenham where we filled the farmers shop, a very kind elderly lady gave up her seat for Barry- draw your own conclusions . John also enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with his daughter.The return journey via Fernham Shelligford and Charney was good with some assistance from tail winds. On arrival back at Grove a few of us went to Costa for a second coffee and were greeted by Roger which was super! In all a great mornings sociable ride with lovely company. | ||
