Report:
Leaving Grove we followed the planned route through Wantage and up Holbourn and Hackpen Hills against a strong wind particularly when climbing Hackpen Hill. My thanks to those who waited for me at the top. Cycled round by the Seven Barrows and minor roads to the Cantorist arriving just in time to see the 1* group leaving. After the Cantorist most of the group went their own ways home but Roger T and myself took the Brick Kiln Lane to Goosey and caught up with the 1* route as we returned to Grove for coffee.

The weather was cold and windy at times but at least the rain held off till we had finished the ride. I do feel, however, that the climbing involved in this route is at the upper limit for a Thursday 2* ride.
