Riders: David Bridge Dean Douglas Geoff Neill John Tranter Sarah Tranter Riders = 5 Report: A rain free short ride taking in 2 Monuments of about 15 miles. The route went up from West Lockinge over the the ridgeway at the monument. With a short ride along the road over Chain Gange hill the riders took a right turn down gravel road and picked up bridleway with a nice down hill section to the Monument near Fawley. Crossing the A338 the route went right through Fawley passing the very pretty church there. Next a right turn on to a bridleway that runs straight up to the ridgeway at Segbury castle. This section had a selection of puddles and overgrown paths to negotiate bringing the technical content up a bit. A very fast descent down into Letcombe Regis and ride back to Grove completed the run.
