Report:The weather was thankfully not as forecast and whilst it looked rather wet over the downs by the time we hit Letcombe Regis the skies had cleared and the rain had passed. We took a leisurely ride to the top of Hackpen Hill and then enjoyed the descent into Lambourn. As we turned right to the seven Barrows the wind was behind us as we climbed again to the ridgeway above the Blowing Stone. It was then a glorious down hill to the spring line and a flat ride with a tail wind home and to parsons for a well erned coffe and cake.Thanks for the company! | ||
