However Brian, Edith and Mavis had a lovely ride out to Faringdon and step farm the bacon butties were great and we met a lot of local cyclist. We rode on tracks not ussually open to the pubic and discovered places we didn't know exsisted. We rode to the wind farm and helped to make an entry in the record books and found out how we could make our own contribution to saving the planet and geting cheaper fuel bills. It was alovely day dispite the weather. Edith
