Riders: Andy Pixton Barry Stanton Chris Bailey Graham Bergdahl Jan McCabe Jo Little John Tranter Matt Adamson Nicole Pethybridge Paul Smith Philippe Marchioro Roger Postbeschild Sharon Bedford Riders = 13 Report: A beautiful warm sunny evening for one of my favourite rides. The great turn out meant we had to split into two groups - so thanks to Jan for leading a second group. We did all meet up though in Boars Hill to admire the view over the dreaming spires of Oxford - which we agreed was one of the best we had seen (clear skies and no humidity), Made it back to Grove just as the sun was setting - so some amazing orange skies. What an evening.
