Riders:Diana WhidborneLindsey Barker Lorna Swanton Sarah Macaulay Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Susie Turnbull Tim Waite Riders = 8 Weather: Report:The 80th anniversary of D-Day seemed a fitting day to visit the Harwell memorial stone, and we had a (mainly) fine, bright morning for our ride there. We set off a little late from Grove, having spent time welcoming new rider Lindsey, and nearly lost Sarah and Tim, both due to meet us by the church in Charlton, to the 2* ride, which got there before us. Fortunately they realised in time and held on for us. It was great to be able to get to Harwell Campus on quiet roads and dedicated cycle tracks (from the beautifully smooth to the very rough), to discover the memorial, and enjoy a leisurely coffee at the Lightbox cafe. And to see the 2* riders there. All in all, a very pleasant morning. Thanks, everyone, for your company. | ||
