Riders:Andy PixtonBarry Farquhar David Smith David Talboys Hugo Pile Jon Townsin Mark Shepley Nick Dunton Olivia Pile Peter Greenfield Phil Stubbings Ursula Hallam Riders = 12 Weather: Report:A good turnout for the ride and we were making good progress out of Grove until the leader punctured near the skate park. Andy Pixton kindly "volunteered" to lead the group onwards while the leader fixed his puncture and then tried to catch up with the group. I gather that the spring line road was as challenging as ever to the group. Ursula & I caught the group up as they ascended Ashbury Hill. I think everybody enjoyed the descent down to Lambourn where, after a short rest by the church, we climbed to the top of Hackpen Hill and the return to Grove via the Letcombes. Thanks to Nick for sweeping and Andy for picking up the lead duties to Ashbury. | ||
