Riders:Barry StantonDes Higgs Malcolm Heavens Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Terry Ryland Victoria Cartmel Riders = 7 Report:A ride out to Childrey Cantorist to meet the 1* group and Kath Boyce. we headed out at a pace to keep warm with the wind behind us to Charney Bassett. We then headed to Hatford and Shellingford and onto Uffington where we faced the main hill of the day Fawler Hill, which was not easy as we were riding into the wind. A first hilly 2 * for Vicks who took the challenge well and made it up with one break, a noteable achievement when tackling such a hill for the first time. On through Kingston Lisle and then along the springline to Westcott and Sparsholt before heading to Childrey for a very welcome coffee and cake. Lucky for Vicks the last doughnut had her name on it! It was lovely to meet the 1* riders and catch up, over coffee and Di waited for us to finish as Vicks was returning viw the 1* route. Steph left us at the cafe and we then went on up the hill to Letcombe Bassett and then to Letcombe Regis before returning to Grove. A good mornings ride without incident and with good company. | ||
