Tue Jun 4th 2013
Tuesday Evening 2* Ride 2*
Leader:
John Tranter
Start Time:
6:30 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
The sun is shining - finally time for the odd 2* hill! Nothing too awful, just Hackpen Hill.

So - around Wantage to the Letcombes, up the aforementioned minor challenge and then back down the exhilarating descent to Sparsholt, along to Kingston Lisle, down one of the two available hills (depending how frisky we are feeling) and then back through the Vale the usual way.

Optional pub stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride.

Report:
A great group, including some new and returning riders. Perfect weather. All went according to plan. John Stamp pretended to suffer on the hills, but we all knew he was only fooling.
