Riders:Adam CavendishBarry Stanton Clare Hazell David Talboys Eddie Little James Bosley Jane John Jo Little Jon Townsin Joy Arthur Karen Froud Kirsten Smith LeeAnn Norris Nicole Pethybridge Sharon Bedford Yvonne Bird Riders = 16 Weather: Report:What a lovely evening to be out riding was the echo around the lanes as 16 riders in two groups took an more unusual turn around the vale. Heading to Denchworth seemed normal enough and then we did a reverse loop through Goosey, Baulking and Kingston Lisle just to warm us up. I led the first group and Jane the second. However we weren't far away from the 2* riders who crossed us from the opposite direction at the bottom of blowing stone. I even managed to surprise myself with the route  as we dropped into Sparsholt before making our way up to Sparsholt Firs. Whilst the climb was steady with a sting in its tail the views and evening air was wondrous and rewarded with the swoop down Chain Hill.Everyone remarked how different a route is done in the opposite direction and the winding roads through the Letcombs proved that. With many in the first group returning from injury or illness and the second group ably navigated as a duo, rally car style with Yvonne calling out instructions to Jo, much was achieved in a short sunny ride. Thanks to the sweeps Jane and David for their support and everyone else for a happy ride  . | ||
