Riders:Andy PixtonEddie Little Jo Little Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Peter Brodie Sharon Bedford Riders = 7 Weather:  Report:Being well carb’d up from yesterdays epic cafe tour and a good breakfast from the Barn, we cycled to Sherfield-on-Loddon Coffee Shop for elevenses - there’s definitely a theme to this tour! Sharon who’d joined us for the day really enjoyed hearing all about yesterdays cake stories . The return ride through Farnham had used mainly cycle paths which really showed what a pretty town it was away from the main roads.The route towards Theale became familiar from previous rides. The route to Pangbourne was more gravel at first, but with the pleasant weather was not a problem for anyone (definitely to be avoided in winter though). The dreaded Whitchurch Hill was conquered and we all survived the newly gravelled descent and the incautious car on a bend! The final stop at Pierreponts Cafe in Goring was relaxed and pleasant. The final push for home was hard going for me but the others were very patient. All-in-all a great tour that will hopefully be repeated to other neighbouring counties. Thanks everybody that made this one so special  | ||
