The wind was WILD on this figure of 8 route round the Vale.
Up past the cricket club the descent to the Childrey crossroads was hazardous. We found our balance and Pete found his legs.

The stop at the community cafe in Stanford was a delight - hot soup and a chance encounter with some familiar faces.

At the A417 Pete turned right to stay on the full planned route and had a delightful doggy encounter. The ride leader turned left and pootled back more directly to Wantage.
