Ride report
Not an enthralling weather forecast, but the sun managed an unexpected appearance and the drizzle didn’t start until the final 20 minutes or so. Only 3 riders decided to tackle Britwell Hill, which (disappointingly?) barely deserves its Ordnance Survey single arrow – only 1 out of our 4 gps devices registered more than 13%, and then only for a few brief seconds. Given the deteriorating weather, we decided to take a more direct route home along the B480.
