Report:We had a glorious warm sunny evening, and two groups of riders doing the 2* route. Interstingly the other group had decided to do the route in the other direction, so was lovely to wave as we started our ascent to Sparsholt firs, as they were descending.It was lovely to welcome Sarah and Richard back for their first club ride for a few years, despite not having done much cycling recently the hills didn't cause any issues! | ||

Riders:David JacksonDes Higgs Gareth Smith Julie Haynes Sarah Lewis Stephanie Haddrell Tim Waite Val Smith Riders = 8 Report:A lovely still evening with plenty of sunshine. The propsed route was to go up to Sparsholt firs from Sparsholt altough we decided to get the climbing out of the way in the first half of the ride, so went out via the Letcombes and Hackpen returning via Sparshot Westcott Kingston Lisle goosey and Denchworth.A great group of riders, we managed to conquer Hackpen and were enjoying the decent to Sparsholt when we met the other 2* group beginning their challenge to reach the ridgeway. Sarah had a minor mechanical at the foot of Hackpen, not ideal but being a trouper she cracked on and nailed the climb. The return journey was without incident apart from me having a fly in my eye on the decent from Kingston Lisle, a bit scary and note to self to wear glasses! Thanks to all for great company on a beautiful evening. | ||

Riders:Chris BaileyJane John Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Lisa Footner Richard Ashford Sharon Bedford Yvonne Bird Riders = 8 Report:The dark storm clouds that were worrying me late afternoon disappeared to give way to a glorious evening. There is something very special about riding with a group of like minded cyclists over the Downs on a beautiful evening as the sun begins to fade and the sky takes on a pinkish glow.This was a hilly route (over 500m) but everyone tackled the climbs with enthusiasm and enjoyed the downhill rewards. One particular car driver is best forgotten - but we also met a much friendlier one who had obviously been watching Le Tour and pulled over to let us tackle the hill without dodging his vehicle and encouraged us along with enthusiastic shouts of “Allez Allez” A pleasure to lead such a great group. Special thanks to Jane who was my co-pilot when my Garmin had a wobble | ||
