Sub-leader Gill Holder led the BBC Group and writes:
We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather as we set off in the morning plus the lovely route offered lots of shade. Thanks Tony. We were all impressed by the Bagshot television relay mast. An amazing structure. There is even a video of it on YouTube. Weatherspoons was very quick with our food and the first group were getting ready to leave as the second arrived. Apart from a bit of a dash across a dual carriageway it was a relaxed ride back to Walton for tea.
Good to see Stephen in Tony’s group back on his first ride since his injury.
Mine was a great team to be riding with for my first time sub-leading! Only a couple of deliberate(!) mistakes, so hopefully not too shabby.
Paul and Mick did a great job monitoring route finding, good to have you watching my back. Thanks to Tim G for back marking and to Paula and Christina for getting us through the last bit of the route to tea at Walton Bridge! Brenda’s bright clothing was perfect for keeping us visible on the road, but tougher for visits to the bushes 😉 and Annette thanks for corner marking and well done for even being out on a bike after your brush with Covid. A very pleasant day out!
