Riders:Barry BakerMartin Whild Mike Stead Nick Stokell Robert Shaw Riders = 5 Report:Hottest day of the year so far but there were only 5 of us. However wewere rewarded with tracks which were drier than expected and therefore the going was easier. After a warm-up climb up Castle Hill (for a change!) we headed S past Parsonagehill Barn then left towards Washmore Hill. Stopped for a breather there and watched a Red Kite wheel lazily overhead before plunging down the rutted track to Eastbury Grange. The climb up to Eastbury Down was surprisingly dry. After turning right we headed up past Ewe Hill and Sheepdrove Farm (route chosen for sticky conditions!) to arrive at the Ridgeway about 45 minutes earlier than anticipated. So rather than descending Hackpen Hill and the track which continues on to Letcombe we headed off E to cross the B4494 where Martyn left us. We raced down the field to the gate then on to Lockinge. Not even a puncture to mar a beautiful afternoon. | ||
