Report:A beautiful spring morning for a ride and lovely to see so many assembled at Old Mill Hall for both 1*and 2* rides. So good to have some girls out on the ride for a good old natter!We headed out on the planned route towards the Letcombes tackling Ickleton road to avoid floods. It was a great descent to Letcombe Regis and then onto Basset lovely to see the Daffodils out and the feeling of warmer weather to come. We paused at the top of Holborn Hill to catch our breath before riding into Childrey for a great extended coffee stop at the Cantorist where we were joined by the 2* group. After coffee we stepped out into winter, the wind was cold and precipitation was in the air, so glad that the return route was less challenging and we road to Goosey and Denchworth and back to Grove. Thanks to all for the company. | ||

Riders:Barry StantonChris Marchant Des Higgs Paul Bentley Pauline Clark Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Terry Ryland Riders = 8 Report:A very good turnout with a lot of old faces returning (could be the weather - which wasn't too bad compared to previous rides of late). No problems at all, riders and machines up to a very high standard.Cantorist Farm wasn't too busy so we got served fairly fast. Only problem was the 1* group had taken all the sausage rolls, so we had to make do with cake and hot coffee! We came back via the Letcombes where there were some closed roads due to surveying an underground waterway which had caused floods. We dropped a few off in Wantage so rode with 5 left to second coffee at Costa in Grove. Good ride with good company - thank you, all! | ||
