Riders:Amanda SeddonBenoit Lalande Dave Smith David Bridge Jon Seddon Nick Stokell Pete Warwick Simon Dales Riders = 8 Report:We started from Goring Station in beautiful sunshine - did rather better this year with 10 riders compared to the 3 last time we started from Goring.We started by going up a road climb to Upper Gatehampton Farm at and immediately descended through a great chalk wood. Onto road, through cold habour and into hill bottom and back into the woods (got minorly lost). Took the road to Crays Pond and some nice swoopy singletrack in Abbots Wood.On to road up Cocks Hill just to get to the brilliant descent in Hammonds Wood. Stopped just long enough at the bottom to grin and prepare for another road climb. Down towards the strip Lynchets and on road through Braziers Common, into Checkendon. Right fork at Ipsden Wood towards Heath End.Still on bridleway through Hook End towards Lackmore Wood. On to A4074, then onto B road towards Goring Heath. Onto bridleway descending into Bottom Wood then down to Mapledurham and then back on bridleway to Hardwick Stud Farm. Right turn up steep road climb up Path Hill. Benoit decided to race Pete to the top until he realised it was significantly longer than he originally thought. Back down the hairpins to Hardwick Stud Farm and then back to Whitchurch past Bozedown Farm and along the Thames Path and back to station | ||
