Leader: Glen Savegar	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: WMP
Description: For full details of the event see the "Annual Mince Pie Ride" entry. The 2* ride will leave after the 3* group at about 10:00 - 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. Our route will leave Wantage market place for the Letcombe villages, Childrey, Sparsholt, and Westcot, before taking the B4507 and the final ascent of Dragon Hill road, with everyone climbing at their own pace, with time to gather breath, and take in the fab views across the vale. Approx 16.8 km (10.5 miles)
Riders: Alison Corfield Barry Gills Brian Hipwell Chas Boshell David Bridge Derek Boutle Des Higgs Glen Savegar Graeme Larson Jacquie Boshell Jane John John Rushton John Vandore Liz Smith Phil Clarke Robert Snook Susie Turnbull Riders = 17 Weather: Report: Another amazing turnout in the market place for this years ride. Sorry if I was unable to capture everyone on the riders list. We seemed to expand in numbers just before setting off, and lost several riding off the front of the group. Please do get in touch via the contacts page if your name is missing from the list ! A nice straightforward ride, initially chilly and overcast, turning to blue skies and sunshine as we approached the White Horse. Well done to everyone for tackling Dragon Hill (many for the first time !). It's a good huff and puff at the best of times, but always rewarding ! A big thankyou to Des, David, and Brian for their help with the sweeping duties, and to Carin and the team for a magnificent job on the hill serving the minced pies and mulled wine ! Glen S
Distance: 16.90 km (10.50 mi)
Next Left For Dragon Hill ! Mulled Wine and Winter Sunshine !
