Despite the heavy rain that fell a few hours before the start of the ride, five riders turned up. The ride out was at a strong pace with the assistance of a good tailwind. Just as we passed through Appleton, Nick had a puncture, which was repaired efficiently. We arrived The Cherry Tree Cafe to find the extension work still ongoing, but fortunately there was space inside. Good coffee was enjoyed by all, even if the egg bap, according to Pete was only average. The ride back to Wantage was enjoyed primarily in sunny spells, but as we approached Denchworth the rain started, but we managed to avoid the worst of it. A number of riders turned off to make their way home. The ride ended in the Market Place with two riders. Considering the forecast it was an enjoyable ride.
