Report:We had a full complement of riders as Steve Swanton joined us from the other 2* ride. A very enjoyable relaxed ride with no problems. Both Sarah and Gerry are reasonably new to the club and both were very good riders and very good company. Thank you one and all for a great ride and thank you to Steve for being a very good sweep. | ||

Riders:Eddie LittleJames Bosley John Tranter Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Roger Postbeschild Riders = 6 Weather:Report:Compared to the howling gales of 24 hours before, this was a super pleasant evening. After a bit of group shuffling at the start, we ended up with a full complement of six riders and it turned out to be a well-matched group. The climbs of Holborn Hill and Hackpen Hill were dealt with smoothly and we then enjoyed the long descent towards Lambourn before heading for home (with a tailwind) via Seven Barrows and the big drop down Blowingstone Hill.Thanks to all for great company on a lovely evening. | ||

Report:The niggly headwind on the way out was not in the same league as the winds on Tuesday night but reinforced the rightness of postponing last nights ride!The others very patiently did my pace on undulating springline before setting off at their own paces up White Horse Hill. Lisa made short shrift of her first cycle up the hill. Quick photo at the top and then off again, racing against the sunset. With the wind behind us we were back in Wantage with light to spare (just!) Great ride thanks all | ||
