Weather:
sunny
Report:
Southmoor held a couple of surprises for us: KBS cafe at the village hall wasn't running (a note on the door said the organisers were at a funeral) and quite a long section of the main road was blocked by major works. Fortunately Munch was reliably good for refreshments and we were able to dismount and walk along the pavement past all the the works.
Otherwise the ride went to plan: a gentle potter with plenty of pauses, enjoying the spring weather and good conversations as we went. Thank you, everyone, for your company.

Report:
What a lovely day for a cycle ride! Tailwind out but headwind back. We made good progress to the cafe in Shrivenham where we sat outside in their courtyard with beautiful sunshine. We were served very efficiently with coffee and eats. The wind had got up a bit for the return but the sun kept shining.

A very easy and enjoyable group to lead with no problems at all. Thanks, all,
Distance:
45.00 km (27.96 mi)
