Also, although we are close to the longest day please bring lights as it may get dusky before we are back. We can therefore offer a pick-up at Wantage Market Place for this ride.

Riders:David JacksonDes Higgs Gareth Smith John Tranter Karl Blake Mike Bailey Paul Kyberd Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Riders = 9 Report:Eight of us set off from Grove on a lovely evening. Road works with traffic lights along Denchworth Road led to us heading out via the A338 and Wantage Market Place to pick up the Springline Road (B4507). Michael joined us at Childrey and we rode as two groups out to White Horse Hill. We had the expected effort (particularly for those not electrically assisted) to get up the to the usual car park by the road summit. For Paul a little harder as his bike failed to engage the easiest two gears! The weather was warm enough to linger a little and enjoy the achievement and view. After the descent we had a lovely view back with the moon visible in a blue sky over White Horse Hill. John then led one of the groups back at a slightly faster pace than other group. The ideal weather made the ride - and especially the journey back, a delight. I would like to thank John for leading one of the groups and Des for being sweep. | ||
