Report:Full turnout of riders despite the heavy rain that fell in the hour before we started. A bit drizzly on our first climb (up court hill) but we were rewarded by a rainbow at the top. After that we stayed mostly dry - apart from the spray off the wet roads.Going up onto the downs is always worthwhile for the views and tonight was no exception. We found some nice quiet lanes and caught glimpses of bluebells in the woods. As well as the first part of the ride being the hilliest there was also a stiff headwind. However this meant we had a tailwind on the way back so the descent of Chain Hill was a joy. Thanks to the group for being very easy to lead - on what was my first outing as a ride leader. | ||
