Report:Lovely day for a ride. For a moment at the start - the rider leader's bike had other ideas - ie faulty inner tube that would not inflate (was fine when I left home...). After a battle with the tyre the inner tube was replaced and all was well, so the start was only delayed a little.The four of us met up with Susan in Wantage at the start of the track to Ginge - Susan pointing out that I had no helmet:- had- cycled from Grove without me - or anyone else - noticing....in the shenanigans with the inner tube - I forgot the helmet! - Too late to turn back so ploughed on anyway. Possible short cut was eschewed for the full length as the weather was fine and we were on schedule to arrive in plenty of time for the tea stop in East Hanney (those priorities...). Great to be out in the sunshine with temperatures very mild for November. Great stop at the Black Horse pub where we were well catered for with the "kinder" chocolate treat, plus hot drinks. On exiting the pub, the temperature had dropped markedly, so was a somewhat chilly stretch back, via West Hanney & Denchworth. All back safely by 4pm before dusk. Thanks for a great ride everyone | ||
