Report:
A beautiful day for a bike ride with good company. It was nice to welcome Jayne to the group - a fit and competent rider. We finally got to coffee (after the leader had made a pilot error at the start of the only hill of the day). Service was very slow at Ashbury Stores as only one member of staff on.

Seemed like a headwind all the way but we still kept a good pace. Paul decided to leave at Fernham to extend his ride. The rest of us arrived back in Grove ready for another cup of coffee.

A very good group to lead with no problems at all. Cheers!
