Riders: Adrian West Andrew Johnson Andy Cowan Andy Newell David Ryan David Yearley Des Higgs Jenny Williamson John Talbot Mike Pinches Paul Jarvis Paul Ryan Phil Stubbings Robert Ryan Riders = 14 Report: Fast ride tonight to make the most of the daylight. We had a lovely tailwind out to Wootton so were flying along. Young Robbie Ryan was King of the Mountains up Boar's Hill and got to the top first. Great view across to Oxford bathed in golden evening sunshine before the fast descent back down Foxcombe Hill. A slightly different route back to vary the ride and the wind had completely died away so the feared headwind heading back didn't really materialise. Great riding from the group to keep up the pace over exactly 30 miles distance at 16.7mph average.
