Report:A dry if chilly morning which was better than predicted, so great to be out with Des, Karl, Roger and David. We set off at a pace to warm up and pretty much maintained an upper 2* pace for the ride to keep warm, not too tricky with some hills to get the blood pumping!Out via Laines barn and Locking through Wantage and onto the Letcombes stopping briefly at the top of Holborn hill for refreshments and to wait for the ride leader! We then enjoyed a lovely descent into Childrey and straight on to the Cantorist Farm for coffee. This was my first visit to the Cantorist Farm and I was delighted to see the wonderful barn and to enjoy their beautiful almond croissant, which they kindly heated for me, and truly delicious coffee. A great choice of quality delights on offer other sampled sausage rolls and strawberry doughnuts, naughty but nice! Not all of us are as disciplined as Roger the very finely tuned athlete; no surprise that he cruised up all of the hills.   | ||
