A chilly start to the ride, but no rain! With the advantage of some local knowledge (Phil) we by-passed Letcombe due to some road closures. When we reached the hill going up to Little Coxwell we encountered another closed ride, fortunately a driver waiting at the closed road sign said it was closed due to fallen telephone pole, but thought it was passable – he was waiting to get into his house just by the telephone pole as he had not been told the road would be closed! We made it through and arrived at the Faringdon Coffee House and cleaned them out of their choux buns!! The trip back to Wantage was uneventful, decided to avoid The Denchworth Road so had to go on the busy A338 for a short stretch. An enjoyable ride with no rain for a change.
