Description:A hilly route this week to blow away the cobwebs, riding at a steady pace, but not too fast!Leave Grove, out through the Letcombes and up Hackpen Hill. Down Sparsholt, turning left at the junction on towards White Horse Hill. Up the Dragon Hill Road and down the other side to Uffington taking in Baulking and Fowler Hill. Then it's back through Goosey and Denchworth to Grove. If it's raining I may alter it slightly. |

Riders:Amanda SeddonAndy Cowan Bryan Charleston Dan Cox David Smith Geoff Covey Janet Charleston Louis Hall Richard Pethybridge Simon Cox Ursula Hallam Riders = 11 Report:A somewhat fragmented ride tonight, my apologies. Slightly too quick at the beginning (sorry), and then 3 punctures in quick succession. Once the hills of Hackpen and White Horse were covered, we regained a more even pace, and rode home together as more of group, which was great. I think I need to invest in a speedo in order to keep the pace a little more even.Still learning... Thanks to all who came and for your feedback. | ||
