A reserve list will be maintained.Leaving the Square at 10, we'll do the roller coaster Springline, with a slight diversion up White Horse Hill (for those that missed the challenge, perhaps bring a mince pie!) before carrying on along the Springline to Kingstone Winslowe and down to Shrivenham, return via Stanford in the Vale and Park Lane. |

Report:Not a good start for Clare and James who were due to join us but James punctured on his way to the ride, so they did their own ride, which included a second puncture . The rest of us had a relatively peaceful, uneventful, foggy ride to White Horse Hill. No views but quite a lot of dogs, walkers and children enjoying the fresh air!The top of the lane with the main carpark on was very wet and muddy but we successfully negotiated this and John saw us down the hill as I hadn't got a front light and it was very low visibility. With the road busy with ascending cars, it was a good move on our part! Kingstone Winslow was as pretty as ever and not too many walkers in the middle of the road  . As we descended to Shrivenham the sun came out for a while and as we carried on to Longcot not only were the views to the Downs revealed but Des passed us in his car!Slight headwind on Park Lane (just after I commented on how nice it was to be riding without one. Duh!) and then we were back on the road to Grove, Jo and John had spotted Clare in front of us, but despite our valiant attempts we didn't catch her. As splendid ride and great preparation for the continuing festive excesses  | ||
