Report:With a stiff headwind, 5 of us ploughed our way to White Horse Hill. Commending all the patient drivers on a particularly busy Springline road to Childrey, it was a relief to find quieter routes.As we all agreed the wind was not going to prevent us climbing the Hill and turned for the climb, the rain started and gradually became hail before some of us reached Dragon Hill. The wind made it's presence felt at times but before long we arrived at an empty carpark and fantastic views of the weather. The hail return as we made for the downward leg- very painful  . Not long before we were entering Uffington (minding the adult electric scooters as the whizzed past us). With a glorious tailwind we made short work of the return. We all peeled off from Grove onwards, eager to get home for a warm-up after the bitter cold - quite ridiculous for this time of year! Great group to be out with  | ||
