A ride of many parts!
Start with 9 in bright sunshine

in Wantage. Tight riding as a group through to Wallingford. Became overcast and a bit spread out as we got into the Chilterns. Intense rain

as we climbed up to Nuffield and then took shelter in our planned stop at Maker Space.
The rain

was still heavy when we left our pit stop and we were appropriately cautious as we descended down to Hailey.
The rain eased off once we were on the level and the pace increased.
Two riders decided they wanted a gentle natter and suggested that they go at their own pace.
Three riders parted company at various points in the drying conditions since the route went close to their homes.
One rider just disappeared off the front!
Three of us

rode into Wantage in gorgeous sunshine.
