May be hilly.I've surprised myself and thought we would take in a climb to stretch the legs early in the season. A route less traveled and in the opposite direction to make this an interesting ride early in the season. Please remember to bring lights Note: slightly modified route to avoid farm track!! |

Riders:Andy CowanChristopher Whitworth Eddie Little James McGuigan Jane John Jerry Bird Jo Little John Groves Joy Arthur Mike Cooke Nick Dunton Nicole Pethybridge Roger Turnbull Sharon Bedford Sian Mitchell Steve Swanton Terry Penn Yvonne Bird Riders = 18 Weather:Report:Seventeen other riders were brave enough to try my reverse around the vale approach to this evening's ride. Despite some optimistic weather reports at the weekend it was actually cloudy and windy which didn't really help our direction of travel.Surprising myself at times with roads viewed in the opposite direction to normal we swept up Fawler Hill and then alone the spring line through Sparsholt. Whilst the wind was against us going up onto the ridgeway the benefit of swooping down Hackpen Hill was a rare delight. The Letcombes look very different west to east as we made our way home. Thanks to Jo, Jane and Terry for their support and sweeping A novel ride that I may well repeat - beware | ||
