This year we had the additional benefit of unusually nice weather. 7 or 8 degrees and the sun even came out once or twice!Around 105 riders from a variety of local clubs came through for the mince pies, the excellent mulled wine and to donate to the Whizz Kidz charity. Kay Aslett of the charity very kindly came out to join us this year. We even had some late arrivals from Reading, who just made it before we packed away. The Black Horse at East Hanney then looked after 20 or so of us extremely well for the post-ride lunch. | ||
