Riders: Brian Hipwell Des Higgs Gareth Smith John Tranter Karl Blake Lorna Swanton Roger Turnbull Steve Swanton Susie Turnbull Tim Parr Tony Clark Val Smith Riders = 12 Report: Quite a small group and a sunny evening. I was immediately told the route was too long as should be in te he pub by 8, so shortened it by about 2 miles. Out via Denchworth and then left to reach the A415 for a short stretch ant through West Hanney. At the top of the hill we re-grouped and then right down to Childrey, right again and then a wiggle through to Kingston Lisle. Lovely downhill to Baulking and then heading back to Denchworth to the pub. Only to find that the speedy (and shorter route) 3* had got there before us. thanks to Roger for being the Sweeper.
