Lovely ride in the Vale. A bit cool at first but it soon warmed up.
After an initial loop and brief exertion up Fawler Hill we stopped at The Cantorist in Childrey. Given recent nearby closures it was great to see a popular local cafe. We joined a table with two cyclists from Newbury and as we sat down a 9 person peleton arrived from Witney.
The second loop was comfortable until we stretched our legs at Lains Barn.
