Fortunately, the heavy rain had fallen a few hours before the start so while it was not raining, the roads were still covered in quite a lot of standing water and debris. The fab four made its way out West along the Spring Line and then onto Coleshill. Blakes Kitchen was already quite busy by just after 10, but there were still enough Cinnamon Buns for us all!! Just as we tucked into the refreshments, Simon Pittard and his daughter turned up. He was looking like he needed a break and some refreshments, but he kindly took a group photo. The allure of the cinnamon buns attracted the wasps, so refreshments were quickly consumed, and we were back on the bikes to tackle the remaining part of the Coleshill climb. Just after Goosey Andy left us to return home. We were back in Wantage by 11:45. Paul and I decided to have a quick drink, but due to licensing laws we were only able to get a no alcohol drink, so Paul tried the 0% Guinness and was surprisingly impressed. A good morning ride, with no rain, but dirty bikes.
