Report:
The 6 of us left Old Mill Hall, and was lovely to have Mila joining a club ride again for the first time this year. We skirted around Grove to the aeroplance roundabout, onwards to the camel roundabout and up through the Letcombes, we'd paused and rested at the top of the climb up Holbourn hill as the next group arrived, so we continued onwards and upwards, each going at our own pace up Hackpen Hill and regrouping at the top, Sarah arriving first had time to take some photos as the rest of us arrived and just before the rain started!
With the climbing now done, and with the other group approaching, we started our descent to the cross the springline road, and contine through Sparshot down to A417 and onward to Goosey, Denchwoth and back to home, by which time the rain had truely set in, but it had failed to dampen our spirits! As we entered Grove my group all peeled off to their respective homes, and the other group caught up, so as I entered Old Mill Hall car ark it looked as if i had returned with a different group :-)

28.00 km (17.40 mi)
