Riders:Alex McGregorDavid Smith David Talboys Jo Little John Groves John Talbot Joy Arthur Martin Purling Mike Cooke Nick Dunton Nick Stokell Terry Penn Thomas Clayton Ursula Hallam Riders = 14 Weather: Report:A cool, breezy but bright evening greeted 14 riders for this long and tough 3* ride.We made good progress throughout the ride with good group riding. We re-grouped where convenient and enjoyed the ascents and descents as the Sun began to make a showing. The golden late summer Sun as we climbed from Lambourn was especially picturesque. We were making good time so we returned via the Letcombes. Riders began to peel off as we went through Wantage and about six made it all the way back to OMH just as the Sun was setting. Well done everyone for making it round probably what will be the hardest 3* ride of the season  Thanks to Nick D for sweeping throughout  . | ||
