Riders:Barry StantonBrendan St John David Jackson Des Higgs Gareth Smith Gerry Jones Joanna Houlston Karl Blake Riders = 8 Report:It was the longest day of the year and the weather conditions during the evening were perfect for a cycle ride. Our route out to White Horse Hill mainly followed the spring line road (the B4507) apart from taking the minor roads through Childrey, Sparsholt and Wescot. We were rewarded with a fine view from White Horse Hill. After the descent through Woolstone it was a flat ride back. At Uffington we departed very slightly from the advertised route by taking the route past the pub in Uffington rather than than past the church. Des Higgs had advised that the roads this way round had fewer potholes - and indeed it does have a good cycling surface. This contrasted with with the loose gravel on the B4506 - which apparently had been recently resurfaced for the Women's Cycle Tour. Quite how such a surface, even when the loose chippings had been swept away, was deemed good for a cycle race was puzzling. | ||
