Report:Another glorious March day - and my knees were out again!Good to see Chris - who was also sporting exposed knees. It would appear that I managed to take us down a track that Steve hadn't ridden - down Puddleduck Lane in Great Coxwell, following a bridle track that rejoins the Coleshill Road via a farmyard. One of my favourites, it cuts out Badworth Hill. Quite rideable after a dry week. Excellent coffee at Blake's Coleshill, too late, however for sausage rolls or cheese scones. I did, briefly, consider stopping again at Shrivenham Farm Shop for a sausage roll.............. A small but very sociable group, and for three of us, another coffee stop in Grove. 55km at an average 19.4kph. | ||
