Riders:Andy PixtonDavid Smith David Talboys John Talbot Jon Townsin Jonty Ward Karen Townsin Katherine Boyce Mike Cooke Paul Jarvis Ursula Hallam Riders = 11 Weather: Report:Eleven riders on an evening that threatened rain which didn't actually arrive. It was actually pretty pleasant with some late summer evening sunshine.The group made excellent progress right at the middle of the 3* grade. Most people removed their waterproofs before the climb to the top of Hackpen which didn't seem to trouble anyone. The closed road at Childrey meant we had it to ourselves! We made such good progress that we added on a loop at the end to make the most of the last rays of Sun although Jon had to do it with half a saddle. We arrived at the pub for food and laughs just after 8pm. | ||
