Riders:Angie FisherBarry Stanton David Bridge Des Higgs Lily Shepherd Louise Bowers Terry Ryland Riders = 7 Report:A very easy and lovely group to lead - no mechanical problems (just as well as half the ride was in a torrential downpour). We set off in a very light drizzle which soon stopped so quite a nice ride to coffee in Faringdon apart from a fairly strong headwind. We were well looked after in the coffee shop with the owners cooking us some samosas in a very quick time and the coffee is always excellent. The return journey was uneventful other than the heavens opening and people asking why my waterproof jacket was shedding the water so well.Nice ride, nice company and particularly good to see Lily back riding with us. Thank you, one and all. | ||
