Report:Three riders out for the inaugural "winter fitness" ride. However the sunshine and warm temperatures meant it was more like summer.It was a hilly route - more so because of the road closure between East Garston and Eastbury (which I am reliably informed isn't even passable on bikes) which meant a detour up a steep hill! However we kept up a good pace and enjoyed the downhills too. The Downs were looking glorious. Priscilla's was a good as always and it was enjoyable to drink our coffee and eat our cakes sitting in the sun. Thanks to Martin and Mick for joining. | ||
