Andy W, really sorry, not an intentional omission. (You could have PM'd me for my oversight!). Ive had busy days at work and with glances at the MB didn't see yours after Alan's request, AlanW and AndyW look the same with a brief glance!. If you're sorted that's good.

All riders attended, a bit of an incident with a startled horse in a country lane resulted in a minor delay. Superb horse rider control prevented an ejection from the saddle. Cafe was very pleasant with a rider getting f**t before setting off. Stopped for ice lollies and cold drinks at Bishampton cafe shop after which two riders went ahead to get home. A great day out, thanks for taking the lead occasionally, very sociable, a bit faster than billed and a lot hotter than desired . No polo mints were eaten during this ride! I’m now going to sit in the fridge!

Another cracking ride guys, thanks to Si Walker for leading.
Lessons learnt from today:-
1) if you have self adhesive Park repair patches stuck on Latex tubes, DONT leave your bike in direct sunlight!
2) Horses like polo mints, which to be honest I thought that everyone knew that, mentioning no names
