Good to see so many of our friends from Didcot Phoenix arriving to support the ride. There were also groups of riders from Abingdon Freewheelers and Faringdon. A rather strong headwind made Hackpen Hill much tougher than usual and was actually made harder than Whitehorse Hill! The ride went smoothly despite the big group. There was one puncture and a broken chain near the rear of the peloton I hear. We were the first group to the carpark and the Mulled Wine and Mince Pies. After a natter and a munch small groups of riders made their way back in various directions. Thank you one and all for supporting the ride. Merry Christmas!! | ||
