Report:Another great success for CTC Wantage. We had about 130 riders from many local cycling clubs join us on Uffington White Horse Hill for mulled wine and mince pies. The ingredients were generously donated by our members - thanks to all for that. The wine was expertly mulled by Jon and Karen Townsin based on Carin's famed recipe.We raised nearly £500 for the Whizz Kidz charity - again, thanks to everyone for such generous donating. | ||
