Riders: Adam Cavendish Carin Tranter David Bridge Des Higgs Diana Whidborne John Groves Karl Blake Lizzie Long Lorna Swanton Martyn Wigmore Matthew Luker Mavis Rose Patrick O'Leary Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Susan Holdroyd Riders = 17 Report: A lovely sunny spring day 17 of us departed from Grove to the Letcombes, a ride that we had to postponed a couple of weeks earlier due to flooding. We stopped briefly at Letcombe to admire the snow drops, at that point Steph took half of the group on to the Childrey store to start on the coffee break and warn the stores that there was more to come. After the break we carried on through Wescot, Kingston Lisle, Goosey and home. A very enjoyable day. Thank you to David for sweeping.
