Report:
Weather-wise not a bad day. Set off at a steady pace across to Fernham then into Faringdon. The new cafe was short staffed so service was a bit slow, but not too bad. We headed home via the old Wantage Road in Faringdon onto the new one for a blast along the A417 to Shellingford crossroads (with John complaining he had run out of gears!). Back via Hatford, Gainfield, Charney and Denchworth and then another coffee in Grove for three of us at Munch.

Thanks to all for your company on an enjoyable ride.
