Riders:Adrian WestBrian Hipwell Chris Walters David Bridge David Talboys Des Higgs John Stamp Lorna Swanton Maurice Bawden Ron Cutler Sara Smith Steve Boreham Steve Joyce Steve Swanton Val Smith Riders = 15 Weather: Report:After a slightly chaotic start everyone made it up Hackpen Hill. Despite a strong easterly wind we zoomed down into Lambourn (Des managed to get up to 37 mph). A glorious run into Ashbury past Weathercock Hill and Ashdown house slipping into Shrivenham for refueling. Legs aching we managed another two hills (Fernham to the A420 and up to the Faringdon Folly) before returning home. | ||
