Report:
The one where the leader couldn't count...
The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that this ride went ahead with seven riders, after I managed to get my numbers wrong. All concerned were entirely happy with this oversight, however, and as it was still within the rules we went ahead with gusto. Roadworks in Letcombe Regis meant we diverted past Childrey before climbing up Hackpen. Always hard work, but rewarded by the glorious swoop past the gallops en route to Lambourn. The reverse side of Blowingstone is always much easier than the scarp slope version, with the added benefit of allowing the more kamikaze riders to hit 45mph+ on the descent. The other advantage of this route was that once at the top all the climbing had been done, with only the run through the Vale left to complete. All in all a great ride with great company.
Distance:
35.41 km (22.00 mi)
