Riders:Barry GillsCatherine Wainwright David Brown Louis Hall Nick Stokell Robin Tucker Riders = 6 Weather: Report:Eight of us riding on the edge of the Chilterns, on a warm summer's day. (In addition to those listed: James Baker and Patrick Hardiman).We set off first along Grim's Ditch - marvelling once more about the prescience of the Vikings in building a wonderful piece of singletrack. From there the ride was defined by the slope on the western edge of the Chilterns, with three big ups three big downs joined up by various bits linking them together: * Up at Hailey * Down to Well Place (Being surprised to find a stream had appeared in the track. And having a look at Rowan Atikinson's new house now under construction) * Up on the road from Well Place and over to Checkendon * Down at Hammond's Farm. Steep and rocky - fun or nerve-wracking! * Up past Brazier's Common, then left and north by road to… * Down through Mongewell Woods Then back along Grim's Ditch, now knowing what to expect. Excellent riding, excellent weather, excellent company. | ||
