I didn't think many would turn up to this ride after all the wet weather we had the previous 24 hours so I was glad to see Mike and Dave waiting patiently at the Alfred statue.

Due to wet roads and abundance of leaves I decided to cut the ride short by a bit at the start losing Denchworth and the Hanneys.

Dave had some battery issues with his headlight which we eventually got sorted and there were a few desperate stops for the call of nature which slowed us down a bit and lowered our average speed around the route. Apart from that the ride was pleasant and taken at a fair blue pace being cautious with the conditions on the roads.
