Mince Pie Ride - 1* 1*
Leader:
John Tranter
Start Time:
10:15 am
Start Location:
WMP
Description:
For full details of the event see the "Annual Mince Pie Ride" entry.

The 1* ride will be a sociable ride at a leisurely pace leaving after the other groups at about 10:15 - but please arrive at least 10 minutes beforehand to register.

Ride out with us to the NT car park at White Horse Hill, Uffington, for mince pies and mulled wine.

We will go via East Challow, the bridleway to Childrey, Sparsholt and Kingston Lisle, before tackling the great Hill itself. No pressure, but a chance to challenge yourself and see how far up you can get before having a rest!

Weather:
light rain showers
Report:
Despite a bit of drizzle early on, a good group of 11 riders set off from the Market Square. We then picked up 3 extra in Childrey as the Paine family joined mum!

Everyone coped extremely well and the final assault on the great Hill was at least accompanied by a little bit of sunshine.

Thanks to everyone for an enjoyable ride!
