Report:First I must apologise to Mathew A, who had signed up for the ride, and turned up in good time. However, I had made a mistake on my list of riders, thought I was only expecting myself and 4 others, so when had that number headed off early. Sorry Mathew and very pleased to hear you were able to join the 2* ride.Whilst cool and overcast compared to recent days, this was probaly to our benefit, as it meant it wasn't too hot for our hilly option. Typically we each took the climbs at our own pace and regrouped at the top, however if we had been awarding King of the Mountain points, they would definately have gone to James, who is in great from ready for his charity London to Paris ride next month. The highlight of the ride for me was as towards the end of the ride, as we rejoined the Wantage road, a barn owl decided to join us, flying alongside us for about half a mile, aving no problems keeping up with our pace! | ||
