Weather:
sunny
Report:
Despite the earlier thunderstorms which had deterred a number of riders from joining this first evening ride, we were surprisingly left with a beautiful sunny summer’s evening. Conditions on the trails were pretty good though the earlier storms had left a few large puddles at the top of LarkHill which was to be expected, and caution was required as we climbed the chalk hill. The Ridgeway was an absolute delight to ride along giving some amazing views across the Thames Valley. It was a pleasure to welcome Ian on his first ride with the club. Many thanks to Jane for sweeping & to everyone for their great company.
Distance:
20.00 km (12.43 mi)
