Four of us for a chilly ride over to Lechlade and back. Lynwoods was heaving but we managed to squeeze in. Thanks guys for waiting for a flagging leader!

A gentle (for some) ride on a fine May day.
Two returners after lengthy absences and one tapering for Mont Ventoux.
Flat through to the Log Cabin and then a helpful breeze to see us on our way back to Wantage.

The weather turned out a lot nicer than the forecast with sunny spells and a light breeze. The ride over to Marlborough was on quiet lanes apart from the last stretch into town, but this was not too bad. A welcome coffee at The Food Factory was enjoyed outside, before the leg home to Wantage. We were back in Wantage by around 13:30, so not a bad average speed.

Only two riders on a cloudy morning with drizzle threatening. Uneventful ride out to Abingdon (R&R) - the drizzle arrived on the way back but never amounted to much. Pleasant ride - thanks for your company Richard.

Lovely ride out to the always good No.25 cafe in Benson, although a fairly brisk easterly wind meant we were battling into the wind for most of the way there.

It was nice to see Jan for the first section as she joined us until Drayton.

Some nice rarely visited lanes around Stadhampton and Berwick Salome and then a typical route back through Cholsey and Aston Upthorpe.

Nice ride. The route is very peaceful & picturesque, but be warned, the road surface is quite bad for much of the way. Doable on a road bike (we did it) but would be better on a gravel bike.

A ride of two halves. Super tailwind on the way out and slightly harder on the return!

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).

The sun was shining and the legs were exposed. There was a brisk breeze helping us out to Yarnton so we knew what to expect coming back. The Yarnton garden centre was busy due to the Easter holidays but we all eventually managed to get refreshments. The ride home was along some not so familiar roads. Overall a very pleasant ride.
