Riders:Chris MarchantDes Higgs Eddie Little Geoff Neill John Groves John Salmon Karl Blake Louise Bowers Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Sharon Bedford Terry Ryland Tim Hoyle Riders = 13 Weather: Report:It's amazing what a sunny (but still chilly) and non windy day will do for a ride turnout.Thirteen riders plus the one star crew. We split into two groups, with Sharon taking the second, to get out of Grove. I decided to brave the road closure in Denchworth (tree surgery - we were waived through) and Sharon took the alternative route, as discussed at the start! Having waited to see whether Sharon's group would follow through the closure (for too long, as it happens) we eventually met up in Kingston Lisle - having climbed the hill. Several e-bike riders zoomed past me up said hill, my little legs being a bit tired from yesterday's ride in The Chilterns! I was a little surprised to see Louise going back down the hill, but at least that meant we were no longer an unlucky number of riders! We continued as one group, and sat outside at The Grocer Chef in the sunshine - the one star group had bagged the sunniest table though. We returned via Lain's Barn to Grove. Good to welcome Tim and to admire Geoff's e-bike. It should be noted that this puts Karl first on the leader board - impressive after his long forced layoff! Thanks to Sharon and Des. | ||
