Leader:Laurent Chambard |
Start Time:10:00 am |
Start Location:WMS |
Description:Ride to the Highworth/Lechlade area, with lunch somewhere between Highworth and Lechlade. Way there along the B road from Wantage undulating alongside the Lambourn downs (with climb up White Horse Hill on the programme, depending on the mood of the crowd - Shame to visit this place only the Sunday before Xmas!), then lanes up to the pub. Lanes again in the afternoon up to around Faringdon and then gentle back through the Vale. Around 50/55 miles expected. |

Riders:David MartinezEdith Hipwell Kevin Fairs Laurent Chambard Riders = 4 Report:Only four of us, including new member David Martinez (citizen of Catalunya, one more in the array of nationalities within the Section!) set off in sunny weather at about 10h10 alongside the slopes of the B4507. David proved to be a worthy successor of these legendary Spanish climbers of the past as he blew us up White Horse Hill where we were greeted with views to make us ashamed of turning up there only once a year and just before X-mas! The route then continued to roll uneventfully to the pub where we were spot on time for lunch.The afternoon allowed Kevin to make some mental notes possibly helpful for his next years | ||
