Report:Tonight's ride saw just two riders who were able to face what were really quite strong head winds for much of the ride.From Old Mill Hall we headed out on the canal path from Grove to East Challow, then up and over Windmill Hill to Letcombe Regis. We then headed to Letcombe Bassett along the road, before turning uphill to the Ridgeway via Gramp's Hill. Once atop the Ridgeway we headed Westwards through slippery mud and against the wind to the Sparsholt Field downhill. This track was an excellent downhill, with some "interesting" spots involving slippery mud and puddles. From the B4507, we followed the road through Westcott and Sparsholt to Childrey, and then took the track to West Challow and the road the The Fox at Denchworth for dinner and drinks. If you enjoy or would like to experience a good cardio-vascular workout with the added attraction of mud then please do join us next week! | ||
