Riders:Andy BelcherChris Walters Dennis Simpkin Des Higgs John Stamp Maurice Bawden Michael Tayler Naomi Mathews Richard Preece Sara Smith Steve Boreham Riders = 11 Report:A glorious evening, 11 set out from Grove, some not sure whether to attempt Hackpen or not. We got through the Letcombes without incident, climbed up to the base of Hackpen and then created the plan of action. Three riders would take a short-cut and then rejoin us on the other side of Childrey, and the rest set off, huffing and puffing. The north-easterly breeze was in our favour, and everyone made it to the top without stopping - well done to all.The descent back down to Sparsholt was loads of fun - 40mph +. Catching up with the breakaway group at Childrey (sunning themselves in the evening light), we carried on to Goosey, and then back to Grove. Great ride and great company - thanks! | ||
