Riders:Alex McGregorDavid Smith David Talboys Joy Arthur Mike Cooke Nicole Pethybridge Roger Turnbull Ursula Hallam Riders = 8 Weather: Report:Eight riders braved the threat of rain and Dragon Hill on what turned out to be a fairly pleasant evening. We took a less than usual route out to the spring line road keeping a steady pace as we knew what was ahead. Taking the full stretch of the climb from Uffington up to the White Horse we all crested the top in time to see the setting sun and a good backdrop to the view.A lovely descent and ride back meant we could up the pace and stretch the legs. A good lively bunch and a nice ride without a drop of rain  | ||
