Riders:Allie BeckChris Walters David Bridge Glen Savegar Henk Altmann (deceased) Jackie Manning Jane Bruffell Janet Charleston Lorna Swanton Mandy Taylor Maurice Bawden Steve Bruffell Steve Swanton Tony Lewis Riders = 14 Report:Ride details here: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/1897856.Well what a fab day it turned out to be!....... 14 set off on a glorious winter afternoon,with the low sun casting it's long shadows across the surrounding countryside. Luckily the flooding on the road between Denchworth and West Hanney had drained away nicely overnight, so there was no need to carry out the optional detour (Plan B anyone?). A gentle flattish route, with a (shock,horror!)hill climb passing Lains Barn, followed by a gentle descent to Smiths tearooms at Ardington. Steve S wisely decided to make the most of the lovely weather, taking in an extra solo loop of the village, joining us back at the tearooms a few minutes later. A final couple of miles to home, zig-zagging our way through Lockinge, where two cockerels residing at the local racing stables signalled their early morning call, despite it being late afternoon!.... A big welcome to Mandy, Allie, and Jackie,and really nice to see Lorna, Jane and Steve B back out on their bikes. Thanks everyone for your company!...... Glen S. | ||
