Description:
This week I am throwing a couple of very minor climbs. We go west through the Letcombes, Childrey and Westcot before a short section on the spring line road to Kingston Lisle. Then home via a lovely descent to Uffington, Goosey and Denchworth. There are two smallish climbs up Holborn Hill and out of Westcot.

Please bring lights with you.

Weather:
sunny
Report:
Beautiful weather as it turned out, and a good group keen to test themselves against the relatively modest climb of Holborn Hill. All did well, although Brian sadly succumbed to a slow puncture before we got there.

Great scenery all the way around, and thanks to all for your company - nice ride!
