Description: |

Report:Many of the group were off eating apples and their by-products, so those of us who turned up had a fast and hard ride to Marlborough. 48 miles in total, with an average speed going of 12.7 mph and 13.6 comming back.Neil set the pace out of Wantage and I managed to catch up with the group at the top of Hackpen Hill, where they all looked comfortable and relaxed. So much for staying behind the leader!! We had great weather for the ride and we enjoyed our lunch at the Bear in Marlborough, the portions were filling and reasonably priced. The beer was excellent. We had arranged to met Richard at the pub, and just as we arrived the Morris Minor passed in front of us, lots of waving and pointing at the pub, but we never saw Richard again. Hope he is ok. The route back took us along the old rail track back to Ogbourne St. George, and back along the bottom of the Downs and we managed tea at the Museum by 4.00 pm. A great time was had by all.
