Good to see seven riders out today on a cool sunny morning... well, it stayed sunny for at least half of the ride.

Little to report until Ashbury, when the group left the leader behind, and the Chairman decided to take his own route, and Barry lost his saddlebag. The group finally reassembled, and we set off again in a much more orderly fashion, after a stern reprimand from the Ride Leader about group riding skills .

It seemed as though there was a perpetual headwind for the whole ride (or maybe it was just my legs grumbling), but after the brief climb at Challow, we were all ready for delightful coffees at marmalade, in the Market Place.
