Riders: Barry Eggby Barry Stanton David Jackson Des Higgs Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 6 Report: 6 riders set off at a good pace but by the time we reached Denchworth we had lost Barry E to a puncture as he decided to turn back - we continued on with 5. But just as we entered Charney the cry went up of another puncture - this time Barry S. He replaced the tube after finding the culprit, a small flint. We had a quick vote and decided to change route and head for the Cantorist at Chidrey as everyone was cold and Barry wasn't trusting his tyres after a run of punctures. We were well looked after at the cafe and got safely back home. If I had to title this ride it would be 'Barrys' punctures'. Thanks to everyone for your company on a trying ride!
Distance: 36.00 km (22.37 mi)
