Riders: Angela Sanders Chris Walters Dean Douglas John Tranter Steve Sanders Riders = 5 Report: A great ride of a total of 114km/72miles. The sun was shining and it was a great ride through some lovely wiltshire countryside. We spotted 3 of the white horses carved into the hillside - none as grand as our own Vale White Horse. We had the usual stop to mend a puncture, lunch and a photo stop. The photo stop was inspired by the field of traditional "hay stacks" A great day ended with a drink at the Pewsey Wharf Bistro.
