Report:
It was nice to have a full house of riders on a grey and windy morning. We set off along the undulating springline road, into a headwind. After initially being spread out by it, we regathered, and worked well to stay together, all the way to our morning coffee and cake, at The Three Trees in Chiseldon. Having carbed up, we headed south to Ogbourne St George, then up our biggest climb of the day. The reward was a wind assisted freewheel, all the way to Aldbourne. What goes down must go up, however, but with a tailwind home, the remaining climbs were softened. Rain, which started at the top of Baydon hill, threatened to accompany us all the way home, but came to nothing. Thanks to everyone for making it an enjoyable ride.
