MDCC Blue/Green Groups - Pangbourne for Coffee - Sunday 1 May 2022
Submitted by Robert OKeefe on 2 May 2022 - 11:02amThat is a rather uninformative and prosaic title for what was really a very interesting and varied ride.
We could have hijacked the soccer commentator’s cliché and called it “A Ride of Two Halves” because that is exactly what it was: a flat and fairly fast ride out through Hurst, Swallowfield and Arborfield on what is essentially the route of the old “Reliability Ride” before swinging Northwest towards Theale and hammering down the main road to Pangbourne.

Black Group Formation Riding on April 17th - Report by David F
Submitted by Mike Woods on 19 April 2022 - 8:05pm
Big group of 9 today, comprising of myself, Mike W, Ben, Dean, Jon, Malcolm, Allain, Tom G and Matt. With Jon and Matt in the group this week we knew it was going to be a fast one.
The “flat” route as issued by Mike was a southerly ride to Bramley via Arborfield.
