Report:
A lovely sunny evening, and as always with my rides a slight detour from the planned route! With a group of 15 we split into two with Yvonne leading the second group. A lovely ride up Hackpen Hill with a glorious swoop down from Sparsholt Firs to Sparsholt. From Kingston Lisle it was a very enjoyable down hill all the way to The Fox at Denchworth.
Thank you to Yvonne for being my second leader, Jo and Kath for sweeping.
