sunny intervals
Report:
11 riders set out from Grove on this bright sunny morning and met up with 3 more in Denchworth: Lizzie, her son Simon and daughter-in-law Kristen, visiting from Austria. We headed out to Hanney and up the lovely smooth road to Southmoor for some excellent coffee at the shop there (Munch@The Log Cabin). From there across the bridge over the A420 to Longworth and Hinton Waldrist, back across to Pusey, Gainfield, Charney Bassett, Denchworth and home, enjoying dry weather and plenty of chat all the way.
Thanks to Roger for sweeping (that new orange top made you the obvious candidate for the job!) and thanks to everyone for your company.
Thanks to Simon for the photos. One was taken by a passer-by who told us there’s coffee and home-made cake every Thursday morning at Southmoor Village Hall from 9am to 12 noon. A future venue?
