Riders:Barry StantonDavid Jackson Des Higgs Gerry Jones Joy Arthur Karl Blake Richard Ashford Roger Postbeschild Riders = 8 Weather:   Report:We were greeted by a cold North wind which helped the ascent of Hackpen Hill but made the return up Seven Barrows as testing as anyone could recall.We had a few incidents: Barry shipped his chain up Hackpen (Karl had wondered how he had dropped him); David acquired a nasty shimmy on the run down towards Lambourn (thankfully brought under control) and Joy had a puncture in Kingston Lisle (thanks Karl). Coffees and pastries were taken at Parsons by five of us on return to Grove. A great bunch - thanks to all. | ||
