At least we got to R&R in Abingdon in the dry this time!!

Only four riders but given the yellow weather warning for rain that was hardly surprising. The ride out to Cumnor was actually in the Sun and was very pleasant. I could see dark clouds gathering towards Abingdon though and I really wanted to get to the tea-stop in the dry for a change so we put on a very slick pace through Wootton!!

Is 10:15 a record for a club ride tea-stop?!

After refreshments I decided to head down Peep O'Day Lane to cut off the Drayton Road (Ken missed out on a little bit of off-road) and Andy headed home at Sutton Courtenay having cycled to the start.

It started raining as we approached Drayton and it was pretty heavy then all the way back. Richard left us at West Hendred and Lawrence and I decided to blast along the A-Road back to Wantage eschewing the back roads through Ginge in the pouring rain.

I was back in my car before 11:30am, another club record? An enjoyable ride despite the rain for the last bit :)
