Riders: Andy Pixton Chris Bailey Glyn Brooks Jane John Joanna Houlston Joy Arthur Lizzie Hardingham Sharon Bedford Simon Atkin Yvonne Bird Riders = 10 Report: We debated whether it was too hot for a such a hilly ride - but the consensus was to go for it. We promised ourselves we would all take the hills and our own pace - not push it too much - and look forward to the downhills. We also thought we could cut if short if need be . The first third of the ride was particularly hilly and very hard work - but the temperatures then dropped and so it got a bit easier. So we carried on with the planned route. We split into two groups of 5 so thanks to Jane for leading the second group. The consensus was that it was a great evenings ride, a lovely route (so thanks to the mystery person who put it up on the website) and as ever the sweep down Chain Hill was fun.
Distance: 44.00 km (27.34 mi)
