Report:A hard (1.5 hilly) but beautiful ride up on The Downs. Somehow we managed to find a sunny gap between rainy days, (and before Storm Austen).A great group - making good progress. Thanks to Joy for agreeing to be vice-leader in case I had to drop out due to an annoying niggle - but luckily I didn't. Court Hill cafe was as welcoming as ever. | ||
