Report:A very good bunch of riders on a very leisurely ride. Everybody handled Fawler Hill with great confidence. (Most had already successfully tackled the White Horse Challenge). We stopped at the bottom to take in the stone circle on the left (circa 2019) so not such an ancient monument!We carried on through Westcot and Sparsholt to the cafe at Childrey, where we were well looked after with hot coffee and a cake if required. Here we met Paul and John and had a long chat about bikes. David departed earlier than the rest as he needed to get home. All in all a good ride, good company, no mechanical incidents and the only weather was some fine drizzle. However we all noticed that it seemed to get colder as we returned through Denchworth and Grove. Thank you one and all. | ||
