Report:After much checking of the weather forecast we decided to go ahead as planned, and were rewarded with a lovely ride, a rainbow and even a few glimpses of sunshine. It did rain, but not on us! Three of us set off from Grove, taking the tree-lined path between Crown Packaging and Badgers Drive to Stockham (much smoother surface than the last time I went that way), before picking up Susan near Naldertown. Coffee and cake at Cantorist Farm were very welcome after our ascent of Holborn Hill. Nice to see the 2* group there too! Rain was threatening so we didn't dawdle on our way back from Childrey, Angie leaving the ride before our loop round to Goosey in order to get back to Wantage sooner. Thanks everyone, for your company. | ||
