Riders: Angie Fisher Brian Hipwell David Bridge Huw Palmer James Bosley John Groves Louise Bowers Pauline Clark Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Terry Ryland Riders = 11 Report: So lovely to be out on a club ride and for the sun to be shining and the company great even better! A familiar route out to the Letcombes and up Holborn hill, it was certainly chillier of late and so we mostly kept moving, although a brief stop at Letcombe Church to check all were well caused a degree of confusion ! Weather continued to be favourable and we enjoyed the decent into Childrey, on to Westcot and into Kingston Lisle. We met a rather fiesty horse as we turned into the village and just as we let go down Fawler Hill, another couple of riders curtailed our freewheeling. No trouble though and it was then an easy ride to coffee at Stanford, where we enjoyed a convivial chat and the usual banter. fully refreshed we then headed back to Grove Via Gainfield and Charney Bassett. great company and a lovely morniing on the bike Thanks all.
