Report:No bluebells on our ride, but plenty of oil-seed rape gleaming golden in the sunlight as we passed by on the track. A few pauses along the way - including one at the edge of Stanford to direct a lost HGV driver to White Horse Business Park (his instructions said Whitehall) - made for a mellow ride. Stanford Coffee Shop served excellent refreshments as usual; we returned to Grove via Park Lane and Denchworth. Thanks to everyone for your company. | ||

What's not to like!The promised bluebells duly put up an appearance in Bagley Woods and Ernie and Di were rejoicing in their extended range courtesy of electric conversions by Karl.
