"No faffing" ad-hoc ride

Leader: Ginny Henderson	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: Ginny's House
Description: Average speed 15 mph, around 1.5 hours, no stopping. If folk want tea, bring cake, I'll do drinks... let me know if you will be coming.
Riders: Chris Walters David Bridge Ginny Henderson Philip Thornton-Evison Riders = 4 Report: The day before this ride I did a "fitness test" which required an 11km climb up the "Long Mountain" at Westbury in Shropshire, so I was not entirely sure whether my legs would last! Fortunately they did... we went over to Shrivenham in a roundabout way via Compton Beauchamp, and then back through Fernham and Gainford. Really nice weather (a bit windy on the way out though), and we really did keep the pace up, covering 50km in 2 hours.... number freaks can have a look at the graph below to see the ride in more detail. Thanks for organising this Ginny. Chris W.
