Report:We had a beautiful, sunny day, lovely villages to cycle through and signs of Spring everywhere - including my first lambs of the year.The Humble Bumble was as efficient as ever and surprisingly quiet. We were also joined by Jackie from Wallingford CTC group, who is building up to a Lejog in July. Thanks to everyone for being such a good humoured group to lead. | ||
