Riders:Adrian HerbertJohn Stamp Karen Davenport Lorna Swanton Michael Tayler Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Riders = 7 Weather:  Report:Great ride, with seven of us, that lucky number 😎After the hot day on Monday, the mercury eased somewhat to make a more pleasant temperature to ride in. Plenty of time to keep the leisurely pace, pausing at churches in West Hanney and Lyford, before a stop and a good chat by the Green in Charney Bassett. This included the obligatory group photo!… Naturally😀 Forwent the option of the “Asti Stud” extension - due to the awareness that the nights are drawing in. So made it back to Grove in good time just before dusk….. Total of 13 miles for the stats! Enjoyed all your company. 😀 | ||

Riders:Chris BaileyGraham Bergdahl Jan McCabe John Tranter Joy Arthur Nicole Pethybridge Paul Smith Philip (Pip) Jackson Sharon Bedford Simon Atkin Riders = 10 Weather:Report:After the past few days of hot weather, it had cooled down and slightly cloudy, so perfect conditions for an ride out along the springline, and dropping down into Uffington, prior to the ascent of the white horse.As there was 10 of us we split into 2 groups, many thanks to Sharon for leading the second group. Typically the groups were ust a short distance apart and met at junctions, and overlapped as we went up the hill with everyone taking it at their own pace, we all had a rest at the top and a couple of photos After our rest we continued, enjoying the downs, it was only just after we crossed the A417 we realised we hadn't seen the second group for a while, just as I was debating going back a message came in.... Paul had a puncture..... but all was in hand, and everyone made it safely back  | ||
