Riders:Angie FisherBarry Eggby Barry Stanton Chris Marchant David Bridge Des Higgs John Groves John Tranter Louise Bowers Martin Hook Patrick O'Leary Roger Turnbull Tim Hoyle Riders = 13 Report:With such a large group, we split into two with John leading the second group (thank-you, John). This made it easy and comfortable to lead with no problems at all. The weather forecast was right for once - we had one shower after coffee but then when we got to Denchworth railway bridge the heavens opened but thankfully we were nearly back at Old Mill Hall.Thanks to all for being wonderful company on nearly a great ride (except for the downpour!) | ||

Report:Taking into consideration the amount of rain we’d had over the past few days, the trails were actually in pretty good condition and a pleasant ride was had by one and all. The weather stayed dry throughout the ride along with mild temperatures. We spotted a number of Muntjac out on the trails though one did get a little close to Tim’s front wheel. Lights were required as we came back into Lockinge. We made excellent time arriving back at Larkhill for 07:45pm. Many thanks to Tim & James for there excellent company. | ||
