Report:
A nice ride with lots of sunny intervals & some great views + a couple of small climbs thrown in for good measure. Fawler Hill & Sparsholt Climb which everyone managed very well, + all riders managing an average speed 14.4 mi/h. (clap)

The back roads were nice & quite with the usual pot holes to dodge.This was the longest evening club ride for this year so far. Thanks to Lisa, Chris & Mike for being great company.
