A good turnout for the Welcome ride and it was nice to welcome back Nick S after his shoulder injury. The route out to Coleshill was into a slight westerly headwind. Blake’s Kitchen was particularly busy with early morning walkers, but more importantly NO CINNAMON BUNS, apparently an infestation of wasps at the baking premises was to blame. Alternative patisseries were consumed. The route back to Wantage was uneventful, until we got close to Sparsholt and we lost two riders, after a number of phone calls and WhatsApp messages their location was identified and we headed back into Wantage by a number of routes, some more straightforward than others! Overall a nice ride and we managed to get Nick home in one piece.
