Started as 8 riders and then picked up Richard and Jarv on the way out, with a very healthy tailwind to help us along. Sadly, Richard succumbed to a brace of punctures and decided to limp his way back home from Moulsford. Didcot Phoenix had beaten us to the seats at the community store, but we managed to feed ourselves before the curfew at midday.

On the return journey, the wind wasn’t too bad, but most took it carefully back down Chain Hill.
