Riders = 4

Weather:
windy (fine)
Report:
The niggly headwind on the way out was not in the same league as the winds on Tuesday night but reinforced the rightness of postponing last nights ride!

The others very patiently did my pace on undulating springline before setting off at their own paces up White Horse Hill. Lisa made short shrift of her first cycle up the hill. Quick photo at the top and then off again, racing against the sunset. With the wind behind us we were back in Wantage with light to spare (just!)

Great ride thanks all :)
