Report:
Really great group out tonight. It was a very mellow affair, stopping along the way to regroup at the top of the hills.

White Horse Hill was being a bit of a devil this evening as it decided to blow in our faces right at the very steepest part. Most people managed to tame it though, and all enjoyed the fantastic views from the top, including watching a USAF B2 Stealth Bomber take off from RAF Fairford, way in the distance.

No other dramas to note, we meandered back through the Vale to Denchworth, making this a long ride!

Distance:
36.80 km (22.87 mi)
