Report:A fine night for a climb, not too warm and with some strong legs amongst the riders. We headed out of Grove taking a sneaky short cut from OMH to Brereton Drive to avoid 3* throng. We then encountered heavy traffic on Denchworth Road and so took the cycle path from the aeroplane roundabout, before heading out to the Letcombes. Thankfully once on the village roads traffic was quiet and we could ride comfortably as a group, particularly beneficial as there was a head wind! Des was Ok with his Motor and Barry had warmed up over the weekend so he was on form too! As we climbed Gramps Hill the men overtook and I was happy to reach the top. We paused for breath and a drink before taking on Hackpen with the headwind to add to the challenge. Thanks Gareth for pulling me up and taking the front. Another breather on the ridgeway we enjoyed the descent to Lambourn before turning to pass 7 barrows for a gentler climb to join the ridgeway. All down Hill from here and with the wind mostly in our favour we cruised home via Kingston Lisle, Baulking and Goosey. No takers for pub night tonight all too tired after busy weekends. Thanks team for good company and support. | ||
