Description:A short 50km circuit around the Vale for a couple of hours to blow away the cobwebs and warm up a little! The route is here: http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=27493.No particular hills, so no need to worry about icy downhills! We can decide on the day whether we do a tea stop at the end. |

Riders:Brian HipwellBryan Charleston Chris Walters Janet Charleston John Tranter Lyn Taylor Maurice Bawden Nick Dunton Peter Busby Sorrel Williams Riders = 10 Report:On a bitterly cold, but sunny afternoon, 10 riders eager to sweat out mince pies and Christmas pud set off from Grove. Janet left us at Steventon to go home and thaw out, following a warming dash across Cow Common. As we got north of the A420, I'm not quite sure what Brian was on, but he showed us all a clean pair of heels for much of the way back - I reckon Edith has been putting "rocket fuel" into her mince pies this year By the time we got to Park Lane, the sun was low on the horizon and the temperature dropped pretty noticably. It was a good job we weren't far from home then, as most people were pretty chilled. In all, a nice paced 50km, the ride details are here: http://connect.garmin.com/player/1690666. Well done to everyone for this year's first outing! | ||
