Riders:Chris MarchantDavid Jackson Des Higgs Gareth Smith Karl Blake Louise Bowers Paul Kyberd Roger Turnbull Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 9 Report:With June upon us the pre-planned rides are getting longer and at over 24 miles this one was no exception. The group of nine people (divided up into two sub-groups of four and five) set off in unpromising weather with some rain in the air and dark skies. However, after just a few miles the weather brightened and we had a very pleasant ride. We did cycle into a breeze almost all the way out to Uffington, but then much of the journey back was a real treat. The route consisted of heading to Uffington then back via Shellingford, Gainfield and Charney Bassett. The planned route turned northwards at Charney Bassett to make an extra loop to return via Lyford. A brief conference at this point showed that everyone was up for this and we completed the full course. It was getting dusky as we returned to Grove and just after reaching Old Mill Hall there was a downpour. Anyone either not in their car or having to cycle a little further to get home was soaked - but at least the rain had held off until then.An enjoyable ride and my thanks to Steph for leading the other sub-group and Des as sweep. | ||
