Report:An enjoyable ride out to Cantorist cafe in Childrey. The weather was dull but the rain was only restricted to a few drops. We went out via Denchworth and Circourt and then turned right onto the main road to Faringdon before turning off to go up the hill to Childrey over the old canal.We returned via the track out the back of Childrey to Challow, where we came down through the housing estate to the main road again. We rode along the main road into Wantage turning off into Stockham ( we said goodbye to Susan who went home as we were passing the end of her road). We returned to Grove through Stockham and the new housing estate coming out by Grove industrial estate. We followed the road into Grove and up Brereton Drive turning off through the 1* route back to the car park at Old Mill Hall. | ||

Riders:Des HiggsGeoff Neill John Tranter Karl Blake Louise Bowers Pauline Clark Steve Swanton Terry Ryland Riders = 8 Weather: Report:It was nice to gather on a relatively rain-free day for a change (although we had a few spots along the way). A good group that stayed together well with lots of chat and banter. Interesting to have three out of eight bikes motorised. Fawler Hill was in the process of being resurfaced and the loose gravel wasn't great, but everyone made it up there well. Cantorist cafe was, as always, a pleasant experience and we arrived just as the 1* group was heading back out. A few more ups and downs through the Letcombes took us back to base as the sun came out.Thanks to all for great company. | ||
