Riders: Andy Pixton Barry Stanton Chris Bailey Eddie Little Graham Bergdahl Jane John Jess Brooke Jo Little John Tranter Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Lily Shepherd Matt Adamson Nicole Pethybridge Rupert Brooke Sharon Bedford Simon Atkin Yvonne Bird Riders = 18 Weather: Report: Goodness me, I think the combination of good weather and the realisation that this was the last pub night of the season encouraged people to come out. Definitely a season record for a Tuesday evening ride. Therefore grateful thanks to Sharon and Katherine for leading groups 2 and 3 on our nice simple loop around the Vale. It was also great to welcome Jess with her son Rupert, visiting from Leicestershire. Rupert is aged 9 but already an experienced and very fit cyclist. I suspect a name to watch out for in years to come! A good number stayed on at the Fox for chat and great food and drinks (also with the bonus of seeing some peacock chicks in the garden). Thanks to all for a glorious Vale evening.
