Report:
A very nice ride with excellent company, reasonable weather & fantastic views over the rolling Berkshire Countryside. A slight nagging head wind on the first half of the ride later disappearing. The roads were fairly quiet with considerate road users. Clare had a minor mechanical at Littlecote resulting in her chain coming off, but Clare soon put that right & we were back on our way to Hungerford stopping off at Eliane for our elevenses. Enjoying more fabulous views on the final leg of our ride, Hungerford Common, Kennet & Avon Canal & the beautiful Berkshire villages of Kintbury, Boxford & Leckhampstead. Finally we all got to enjoy the wonderful descent of Chainhill which is always great fun! (giggle)

You were all a lovely group to lead. It was nice to play catch-up with a few riders who I hadn’t seen in a while! Hopefully see you on another ride very soon. :D
