Riders: Eddie Little Jane John John Groves Joy Arthur LeeAnn Norris Roger Postbeschild Sharon Bedford Stephanie Haddrell Yvonne Bird Riders = 9 Weather: Report: We had a good turnout for this morning’s shortie ride. Nine riders in total. As I arrived at the Beacon I was greeted by eight very keen riders all waiting for the off which was lovely to see, some riders I hadn’t seen for a while which was an added bonus. The ride went smoothly, along with no mechanical’s/ incident free. We experienced a testing head wind on certain parts of the ride though this didn’t faze anyone. We all enjoyed an amazing coffee stop at Cantorist Farm Childrey, along with several other cycling groups. Thanks to everyone for being such an amazing group to lead. Look forward to seeing you all on the evening rides very soon!
