Report:
Apologies from Nicole, who was struck down by a bug - get well soon!

It was a beautiful evening and a very large and enthusiastic group gathered. As has become the norm this season, we split into two groups - thanks to Jon and Karen for managing the second group and also thanks to Nick for sweeping the first.

A nagging headwind on the way out the hill, a good strong climb from everyone, a glorious descent and then a super-powered tailwind return to Grove.

Great fun, glorious weather and wonderful company!
