Brillant, the first ride for Corallian and what a beautiful day to pick. Wall to wall sunshine on a perfect early autumn day.

Ten riders plus Richard as support crew gathered underneath King Arthur for the first ride briefing and after a few photos we were off.

I dubbed this ride the "Corallian Explorer" and we stopped in Shellingford for a brief introduction to the geology of the Corallian and the features we would be able to see on the ride.

It was a very chilled and relaxed ride with lots of chatter. Quiet lanes, great views and a fabulous pub lunch at The Chequers in Charney Bassett.

Thanks to everyone for supporting this new venture and here's to many many more excellent rides like this in the future!!
