Riders:Frank SchroerNick Stokell Paul Jarvis Phil Ward Richard Kembleton Riders = 5 Report:Three of us set out from Grove, then picked up Frank fairly promptly and Paul at the top of Chain Hill. In a perfect summer temperature we wound our way through the lanes between West Ilsley, Peasemore, and Chaddleworth with only a slight hiccup when something marked as a road on the map turned out to be bridleway... but a short detour put us back on track. Riders started dropping off in the Letcombes and only two of us made it all the way to the Dash, with Frank taking the honours. A perfect evening ride and thanks to the riders for their company. | ||
