Report:
The weather forecast for the evening had been mixed but the showers cleared and we had lovely weather for this ride. The route is a little undulating on the way out - via the Letcombes, down through Childrey, then out to Sparsholt and Westcot. However, nothing too strenuous. I made one small deviation from the planned route: We left Old Mill Hall in Grove and turned right along the newly re-surfaced Main Street in Grove. A chance to enjoy the superb road surface before turning into Cane Lane and the inevitable much rougher road surface. Thank you to all the participants for a great group ride, and particular thanks to Anke for the photos.
