Dave Saffery Memorial Ride - Sunday 27th September

The memorial ride for Dave Saffery took place in glorious conditions, so good in fact, that there is a suspicion that Dave may have had a hand this part of the organisation.

Over 40 riders took part in a choice of two rides, with Brett leading the group over the hills to Pennypot and Terry leading the group on a slower climb towards Adisham Downs (evidently not slow enough for our chairwoman though who needed to use the emergency shortcuts thoughtfully organised by our hon. sec.)

Riders converged on Sarre Mill for the usual refreshments... Dave would have loved it.
