Riders:Angie FisherBarry Stanton David Bridge Des Higgs Geoff Neill John Groves Katherine Boyce Louise Bowers Pauline Clark Peter Dalgliesh Richard Kidd Terry Ryland Tim Hoyle Riders = 13 Weather: Report:13 of us set off from OMH to Blakes at Clanfield. The forecasters predicted rising temperatures during the day so some us were slightly underdressed for the conditions however it was bright,dry and with relatively light winds we couldn’t complain. At Kath’s suggestion we split into two groups to ride out through Denchworth, Buckland and Bampton to Clanfield. Blakes lived up to its reputation of excellent large cinnamon buns. A group from Swindon Wheelers were just finishing their coffees as we sat down.Down to twelve riders for the return we only got as far as Radcot before Tim’s bike decided to shed a disc pad leaving him with braking on his rear wheel only. Des took over the lead as I went back to check on Tim. We got him home safely as there were no big descents on the return route to worry about. I had been a little nervous about using the A417 out of Faringdon but everyone seemed to cope ok despite there being an open drain hole with no grill cover on our side of the road. We caught up with the main group just as they got back to Grove. We rounded off the ride with a coffee at Costa. Everyone seemed to have good time and enjoyed the route. | ||
