Report:
Another small and select band for a Thursday two star.
I had planned to go to the excellent value KBS Cafe - unfortunately the volunteer staff had succumbed to another round of Covid leading to closure for a few weeks.
Munch at Southmoor proved an excellent fall-back, my bacon and egg bap was much enjoyed.
We had ridden via Fyfield, the one stars had ridden directly to the cafe and arrived before us. The return run via Charney Basset was delightful, being downhill and with slight wind assistance as the wind, such as it was, had moved to a North easterly - most kind!
Cycling in summer gear in March is always a bonus, great company made it even better.
Distance:
31.90 km (19.82 mi)
