There was good turnout for the Welcome ride and we welcomed back Carlo, who is now an official member of Corallian. The ride was going reasonably well until Paul went AWOL just after the Maybush pub on the River Thames. The group continued onto Cogges Farm café, expecting to see Paul steaming up from behind, but no Paul. Just as we were finishing are coffees Paul arrived looking a little out of sorts – his Wahoo had failed and Goggle maps had taken him to the wrong destination. He had resorted to asking for directions!! After a quick coffee and a sub-standard piece of lemon drizzle cake he was ready to resume the ride. He stayed close to those with the route for the remainder of the ride. We made it back to Wantage and the sun was out so a swift drink at the King Alfred’s Head was in order. Apologies to Louis and Nick for leaving you behind along the route through Stanton Harcourt.
