Riders:Andrew RimmerAndy Pixton Eddie Little Graham Bergdahl Jo Little Karen Townsin Katherine Boyce Paul Smith Sharon Bedford Yvonne Bird Riders = 10 Weather:  Report:The evening started off quite cold and miserable but by the time we were at Seven Barrows had turned sunny and a bit warmer. The views across the downs and fields were stunning.I had been worried about it becoming too dark for the distance but everyone arrived before 6.20 so we were able to get away quickly, which really helped. Thanks everyone! Thanks also to Andy P. who led a second group through Grove and Wantage before we were all able to ride together for the rest of the way. It was great to have a tailwind for the ascent and descent of Hackpen for a change. Everything went well until just before Grove when Andy P was hit by a large deer crossing in front of him. Andy managed to stay on his bike and has luckily come away with just a few aches, a buckled wheel and lots of fur caught up in his bike. Thanks to Ed and a couple of 2*'s for staying with him and thanks to Steph who came ahead to tell Kath and I. Thanks also to Karen and Jon who came back in their van to see if we needed help, but Andy had felt ok to cycle so we had left by then. There was also a kind motorist who stopped and offered help. An eventful end to an enjoyable ride, and so glad Andy is ok. | ||
