Report:A murky morning, but it was good to get out and meet up. A select group of four, we pedalled out along Main Street and the cycle path to Wantage, through to Charlton Road via Courtenay Road, then on the track from Lark Hill to Lockinge, where we paused while a surprising number of pedestrians, cars and horses went by. The road up to Ginge wasn’t as muddy as we’d feared, but we seemed to meet more clouds as we ascended, getting steadily damper. Down to Ardington on the Icknield Way, to the ever-welcoming Grocer Chef, where the 2* riders arrived as we were about to leave. We were all keen to try out the new cycle path by King Alfred Way and enjoyed its smooth surface and clear junctions. Not so much the cold wind driving drizzle into our faces! But our hearts were warm and the company was good. Thanks, everyone. | ||
