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.
Distance:
55.00 km (34.18 mi)
