Riders: Brian Hipwell Edith Hipwell Eve Thornton (decd) Gillian Jacobs Ginny Henderson Henk Altmann (deceased) Jane Pearson Matt Chambers Neil Warner Richard Divall Robert Ward Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Riders = 13 Report: Saturday easy ride around the vale to Faringdon and back to Hanney for tea. They say the cake was good! 30 miles at just over 10 mph, we got lucky with the weather and two great new riders made our day. Gillian Jacobs from Faringdon who has just started biking and also Robert Ward. Despite our ride being far harder than Gillian's previous experience she did not give up. If she continues to make this much effort she will be making mince meat of us in 12 months time!! Haven't we been here before with Jo? Robert Ward from Didcot a friend of Matt Chambers (he of PBP fame) has been riding to work a bit and also extended his personal best distance with a 50+ ride including riding from and to the start. Well well done to both and thanks for everyone for coming. Ha! 13 not so unlucky after all. Happy spokes. ginny
