Description:Please note the morning start time!Our regular social and family ride on the third Saturday of the month, usually with a cafe stop.

Please let the ride leader know if you are planning to come. A loop around Wantage before heading out to Ginge and across to the Harwell Campus for a bit of exploring before tracking back along the Icknield Way to our cafe stop at the wonderful Grocer's Chef in Ardington. We will then head home via Lains Barn. 18 miles / 29km |

Riders:Carin TranterDiana Whidborne John Tranter Louise Bowers Matt Adamson Michael Tayler Mila Yearley Nick Portsmouth Steve Boreham Riders = 9 Weather: Report:it was great to finally get some lovely weather, albeit tempered by a chilly northerly breeze. It turned out that the A34 was closed southbound all weekend and all of its traffic was funnelled through Wantage. Some route tweaking took place, but it worked out fine. It was great to welcome Matt on his first ride with us, and also great to see Mila after a few months away. It was a really nice group - thanks to Carin for leading a second group where necessary. We enjoyed the quiet lanes around Lockinge and Ginge and also very much enjoyed the coffee and cake at the Grocer's Chef in Ardington. We headed back via Kingsgrove and Charlton and back to Grove.Thanks to all for a thoroughly enjoyable morning. | ||
