The climb up Chain Hill with a strong cross-headwind was a most unpleasant start (for most of us!) but thereafter the wind did not bother us too much and we also managed to avoid a few rain showers that were flashing across later in the morning. Bagnor looked as pretty as ever and various breakfasts were enjoyed at the Tutti Pole. The return ride was notable for near misses with a sizeable herd of deer that shot across the road in two waves just after passing through Straight Soley and a red kite later on. We all made it safely back to the market square just before another shower hit. Thank you everyone for a very enjoyable ride (and waiting for me).
