Riders: Anke Otto Gareth Smith Jon Townsin Mike Bailey Oliver Purcell Paul Kyberd Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 7 Report: A chilly but dry night for a ride up Hackpen Hill. It was lovely to meet 2 new riders Oliver and Paul, who did very well to complete what is perhaps one of the tougher 2* Tuesday night rides. here's hoping to see them next week for the pub ride! We missed Des,and Karl, due to injury, but it did mean we could take a gentle ride out and so lovely to see Jon Townsin, Gareth, Michael and Anke. It was quite a straightforward ride and we were able to enjoy the scenery and wildlife, including hares, red kites and deer, as well as lambs. We paused at the top of the hills and enjoyed the descents and were privileged to witness a beautiful sunset on our return journey from Goosey to Denchworth. A lovely evening with great company.
