Saturday Ride from Grove

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: GMS
Description: Steve won't let on where we are going, but says he has a new venue!
Riders: Barbara Muritu Brian Hipwell Edith Hipwell Eve Thornton (decd) Gareth Leach Helen Bloxham James Leach Jane Bruffell Jane Pearson Kevin Fairs Kevin Thomas Laurent Chambard Lou Rose Mary Weir (dec) Mavis Rose Richard Divall Stephanie Edlington Steve Bruffell Steve Swanton Riders = 19 Report: A glorious November afternoon after all the recent rain brought everyone out for a ride - 19 in all, a new record for a Regular Club event. We climbed via the Lains Barn road to Lockinge. Trees mantled in reds and yellows coloured our route through Ginge and the Hendreds. A short downhill to Steventon and then through Abingdon to our tea stop at the Fox on Boars Hill. Slightly behind schedule we were chasing the light on the way back and losing riders left right and centre (as one by two non Wantage riders peeled off home). Got back to Grove at 5:15 in the dark after a good 33 miler. Will we pass 20 in December?
