Report:An enjoyable ride out over the Lambourn downs and back with an unexpected downpour from Lambourn onwards (well done to Chris and Alan for having the foresight to leave the ride at Great Shefford!).Over tea at Lambourn, we decided, by mutual consent to cut the ride short due to the rain and headed up over Hackpen Hill and back to Grove via Wantage. Des forked off at Seven Barrows and John left at Wantage, leaving Adrian and I to break the tape at OMH! | ||
