Report:A bit cold when we started off but, with the sun shining, it soon warmed up. We enjoyed the views over the Thames valley as we descended into West Challow and then did a loop around before climbing up Sparsholt Firs. There was a tough headwind at times (thank you Roger for helping me with that) but it did also mean we could appreciate the benefit of the tailwind.John left us at Sparsholt to meet a group from Charlbury who were doing a delayed mince pie ride to White Horse Hill, complete with mulled wine and mince pies. We all enjoyed the views throughout the ride. Thanks for being a good group to cycle with. | ||
