A dull cool morning but dry for the six riders today.

A niggly easterly headwind didn't deter the pace too much out to Didcot via the new cyclepath across Kelaart's Field from Milton Park. Avoiding the town centre we used the old railway path to Upton (which was dogtastic for Jez) and then onto Savages at Blewbury which was pretty busy but we found a table without a problem.

After refreshments we did a loop via East Hagbourne under the old railway we had gone along earlier and then a new road for me and everyone else through the new estate in Didcot to get to Harwell. A nice quiet alternative to the busy Harwell Road in Didcot.

The return via Rowstock and East Hendred was without incident and for a change we went via Ardington to get back to Wantage. Three of us ended up in the KAH at the end.

Good ride and company :)
