Report:The best laid plans! So a fine morning after heavy rain overnight somewhat scuppered our plans ; as we headed out to Denchworth we rode through some large puddles before getting to the bridge. At which point we were advised that the floods ahead were too deep . we discussed going along the main road but decided that the route back would be a problem and so we decided on an alternative short route to Ardington via Laines Barn. Roger who was suffering with back pain returned to Grove, and Des David and myself rode on. The road to Laines barn had some flooding but having observed traffic passing we carried on. We did a circle around Ardington and came back into Wantage using the cycle path on the outskirts of the Kingsgrove estate. Coffee in Marmalade was lovely after which we rode back to Grove. A measley 12 miles but good company and great to be out in the fresh air. | ||
