What a beautiful day for a ride – sunny, warm and a light breeze. The euphoria was soon shattered after we started the ride up Chain Hill. The ride took us out of through Farnborough, Hampstead Norreys, Thatcham and finally to Greenham Common to “The Base” café. Refreshments were taken and the overall rating was fair to good, Paul was disappointed in his flapjack, but that didn’t stop the rest of the group finishing it off for him. The return leg took us through the back of the old Greenham Common base on some slightly treacherous gravel tracks, but it did avoid the busy main road. We all arrived back in Wantage together and a drink at The Blue Boar was enjoyed before we all made our various ways home. An enjoyable days ride, which almost made you forget the recent wet weather!
