Riders:Andy PixtonDavid Smith David Talboys John Talbot Katherine Boyce Paul Ryan Phil Stubbings Richard Preece Ursula Hallam Riders = 9 Weather: Report:A cool cloudy evening with occasional light drizzle but not enough to dampen our spirits We followed the planned route through the Letcombes and took Hackpen Hill at our own pace regrouping at the top. A super fast descent to Sparsholt before the undulating road to the foot of the Dragon. Most of us tamed the beast in the headwind but it was too cool to hang around long at the top and we descended to Uffington. A stonking tailwind blew us along at a blistering pace to Baulking and beyond, a really good blast with great group riding. We eased off and warmed down through Goosey and Denchworth and to the pub for a drink and a natter. Really good ride tonight. Thanks for coming along | ||
