Riders:David BrownKaren Froud Robin Tucker Riders = 3 Weather: Report:6 of us for the off-road ride to the mince pies. Good to see Karen again, and her son went on a road ride. 3 newcomers to CTC rides: Andrew McKeegan, Matthew Phillips and Kevin Woodley. Plus David B and myself.Having checked out the route on Tuesday, I knew we didn't have time to go up Lark Hill, so we went out on the road to Letcombe Regis, then up to Letcombe Bassett and up the big climb of Gramps Hill. Phew - at least we were on the Ridgeway now. I was glad to find out that the track had dried out a bit since Tuesday. It was still against the wind though, and up and down before climbing gradually to White Horse Hill. Then down the other side and into the carpark for mulled wine and mince pies. After a heathy portion of each, way set off back up the Ridgeway, until Collett Bush where we turned left and down to Sparsholt, along the road to Childrey and the bridleway to East Challow. Just before Challow, I peeled of left to head for the Fox. The others headed back into Wantage. | ||
