Report:
It was nice to gather on a relatively rain-free day for a change (although we had a few spots along the way). A good group that stayed together well with lots of chat and banter. Interesting to have three out of eight bikes motorised. Fawler Hill was in the process of being resurfaced and the loose gravel wasn't great, but everyone made it up there well. Cantorist cafe was, as always, a pleasant experience and we arrived just as the 1* group was heading back out. A few more ups and downs through the Letcombes took us back to base as the sun came out.

Thanks to all for great company.
