Riders:Chris MarchantDes Higgs Gareth Smith John Tranter Karl Blake Lorna Swanton Michael Tayler Robert Treadgold (deceased) Sarah Bowen Val Smith Riders = 10 Report:Ten people rode this final Tuesday evening 2* ride of 2019. With the nights drawing in the ride was shorter than usual and we were back at around 8pm.The route out as far as the top of Holborn Hill out of Letcombe Bassett was both hilly and largely against the wind. We did have a short stop at the entrance to Challow Cricket Club at top of the hill from East Challow. Those present getting a reminder that this is the venue for the AGM next month. A longer stop at the top of Holborn Hill allowed us to recover before the descents to Childrey and then down to the A417. An uneventful, and largely wind-assisted loop round the lanes from Goosey to Denchworth and then back to Grove completed the ride. Thanks to Des and Karl as sweeps. | ||
