A beautiful warm evening for a ride. A very pleasant and sociable ride up to White Horse Hill where the low golden Sun made for fantastic vistas.

A chilled ride back through the Vale came to an abrupt end when John hit a large stone near Charney Bassett which initially seemed to have just caused a puncture but after repairing that it became clear it had also caused terminal damage to his derailleur. Barry came to the rescue with a sag wagon whilst the others continued to the pub.

Eventually we were all re-united for a drink in the pleasant King Alfred's Head frontage.
