It was a blustery morning but with no rain expected until around 12:30. Five riders gathered in the Market Place, including Andy who had ridden over from home. The ride to Abingdon was very smooth and relatively fast with the aid of the tail wind. Refreshments were taken at R&R. We were expecting a tougher ride back to Wantage, but apart from the initial part out of Abingdon into Culham and the last part out through Grove the wind wasn’t too bad, there was the occasional heavy gust. We got back to Wantage before the rain and stronger winds set in. All-in-all a good ride considering the expected weather.
