Riders:David BrownDavid Yearley Richard Anstis Richard Pethybridge Riders = 4 Report:It's been said before, and it'll be said again: what a difference a week makes!The tracks had dried out significantly, and there was none of the frozen, drifted snow from last week. We started a little later than usual by mutual consent and were joined by two newcomers, and so we had a shorter than usual ride. From Old Mill Hall, up Crab Hill and straight up Larkhill. From there we took the single track beyond the point-to-point course that leads up to the Ridgeway. Heading Eastwards into the wind, we enjoyed the easier going afforded by the firmed-up tracks. There were still puddles, but they were easily avoided. The descent down was to Betterton and from there back to the bottom of Larkhill via Lockinge. Welcome to Chas and Jacky. We hope to see you again! | ||
