Report:The forecast was not good and so numbers were limited to the brave 5 of Steph, Des, David, Patrick and Tim. Having put the start time back half an hour we started out in bright sunshine which was a blessing. Out to Letcombes for a brief stop at the church to view the snowdrops and on to Childrey where we stopped as it was so beautiful. We enjoyed coffee and cake and decided to extend the ride to include Kingston Lisle, and headed off to Sparsholt where the snowdrops were in full bloom in the churchyard and the verge. Feeling virtuous we continued on our journey, caught a glimpse of Lizzie as we passed her house in Westcott and cycled up the road to the springline for the return journey. Well.... the weather changed in a jiffy and we were met head on with a barrage of hailstones, such fun! Once we turned into Kingstone Lisle we stopped briefly to catch our breath and then battled on to avoid getting cold! The storm quickly passed and we returned home in bright sunshine and decided that a hot lunch/drink in the Cornerstone would be a fitting end to an active morning.Thanks for the company gentlemen and the birthday coffee Desx | ||
