Leader:Roger Postbeschild |
Start Time:9:45 am |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:Our annual festive ride, which again is in aid of Whizz-Kidz, the children's mobility charity.This is a bookable ride, please text me if you wish to ride. Booking is now open. ETA for White Horse Hill car park, 11:30am. Depending upon the number of riders, I will be calling for secondary leaders on the day to maintain reasonable group sizes to give consideration to other road users. There is no getting round the fact that Dragon Hill is a steep one but do it at your own pace (walking if necessary) and we will regroup at the top before heading to the National Trust car park for mince pies and drinks. I will then continue, via the Fox in Denchworth for anyone booked in for the Club lunch, back as far as Old Mill Hall. |

Riders:Barry StantonDan Rolfe David Jackson Des Higgs Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Roger Postbeschild Riders = 7 Weather:  Report:A gathering took place, as usual, in Wantage Market Place, slightly complicated by a Sunday market!Apart from the usual suspects, it was good to welcome Dan Rolfe, who, I think, last ride with us on the White Horse Challenge last year! We might even have seen his wife, but she played football instead...... We were joined on the ride by Robin (there were no other off-road takers) and ten riders from Abingdon Freewheelers. The ride went hitch free until the spring line road was crossed and the main ascent started. Adrian from the Freewheelers was the first victim, a jammed transmission caused an undignified dismount - he dusted himself off and carried on up the hill. Then Barry had a mishap on the first cattle grid, leading to a buckled wheel and broken gearshift - unrideable. They were both due to meet up with Karl for lunch and he was able to provide broom van services. Lunch was then duly enjoyed. The rest of us safely made it up the hill to enjoy mince pies and warm punch/mulled wine in the NT car park. A suitably brisk ride back was enjoyed as a result of the tail wind. | ||
