Riders: Chris Bailey Eddie Little Jon Townsin Lisa Footner Roger Postbeschild Riders = 5 Weather: Report: Five of us headed out of Wantage enjoying the ups & downs of the spring line. As we were cycling along the bottom of Dragon Hill we spotted a large herd of fallow deer which was really nice to see, one of the many benefits of cycling! We paused for a brief rest & selfie at the Knighton junction, then we all enjoyed the decent of Knighton Hill. As we reached Uffington the heavens started to open up & you could just tell that we were going to get really wet for the rest of the ride!! As we were cycling through Goosey Des came cycling past in the opposite direction heading for the hills of Longcot. He certainly wasn’t hanging around! As we approached the junction for Denchworth & the Circourt Rd we waved goodbye to Roger who speedily headed for Grove via Denchworth, leaving the four of us to head back to Wantage via the A417. As usual a very nice group to lead! Thanks all for your company.
