Leader: Paul Jarvis	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: WMP
Description: Our annual festive ride, which again is in aid of Whizz-Kidz, the children's mobility charity. Guests and other cycling clubs are very welcome to cycle with us from Wantage at 10am or join us at White Horse Hill NT car park (grid ref SU 293866) from 11:15 to 12:00 for mince pies and mulled wine. All proceeds on the day will go to Whizz kidz.
Riders: Andrew Johnson Andy Newell Bill Flockton Bryan Charleston David Bridge David Ryan Dean Douglas Iain Kent Janet Charleston Kevin Thompson Martin Bate Matt Chambers Neil Warner Paul Jarvis Tessa Darley Riders = 15 Report: A high turn out, with 18 riders' names taken which excluded riders from Didcot Phoenix and Swindon CTC which took the total numbers to 32. Thanks to Neil Warner who acted as my wing man and broom wagon for the ride!!! We headed out through the Letcombes and up Hackpen hill where we re-grouped, thankfully giving the leader a chance to catch up!!! Then dropping down to Sparsholt through Westcot and on to Kingston Lisle then dropping down to Uffington before ascending back up to cross the B4507 and up the climb over Dragon Hill below the White Horse. Having done that, we joined the gang for a well earned rest for minced pies and the odd glass of mulled wine!!! . Afterwards a much smaller group dropped down through Uffington, and through Baulking, Challow, finally arriving at the Fox at Denchworth for lunch.
Distance: 25.75 km (16.00 mi)
