Riders: Barry Eggby Bridget Proctor Bryan Proctor Carin Tranter David Bridge Des Higgs Diana Whidborne Eve Thornton (decd) Ian Shipton John Groves Karl Blake Lizzie Long Patrick O'Leary Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Susie Turnbull Riders = 17 Report: A large group of us set off from Grove and we welcomed Bryan and Bridget Proctor who joined us for their first CTC ride. The first 8 miles it was sunny and mild. We headed north towards Fyfield and then left to Longworth. The next 4 miles to Stanford in the Vale were very unpleasant with heavy rain. The cafÃ© gave us a good welcome and we all had a much needed break for coffee, cake and sandwiches. When we got back on our bikes the sun was shinning and we had a quick ride back to Grove. Thanks for Roger T for being the sweep. A very pleasant ride!
