Report:
After the past few days of hot weather, it had cooled down and slightly cloudy, so perfect conditions for an ride out along the springline, and dropping down into Uffington, prior to the ascent of the white horse.

As there was 10 of us we split into 2 groups, many thanks to Sharon for leading the second group.
Typically the groups were ust a short distance apart and met at junctions, and overlapped as we went up the hill with everyone taking it at their own pace, we all had a rest at the top and a couple of photos

After our rest we continued, enjoying the downs, it was only just after we crossed the A417 we realised we hadn't seen the second group for a while, just as I was debating going back a message came in.... Paul had a puncture..... but all was in hand, and everyone made it safely back :-)
