It was a beautiful day for the welcome ride, if a little chilly to start with. We left Wantage with seven and then we became eight after Ben Roberts joined us somewhere along the route to Denchworth. We made it to Savages in good time and were joined by Caroline Newton, who had missed us at Denchworth, so eight became nine! Everyone enjoyed a leisurely “breakfast” and coffee, service was a little slow, but we were in no rush and were able to enjoy the lovely warm sunshine. We headed back to Wantage and I decided to take a detour back to Wantage via the Harwell Science Park and the Ickneild Way to East and West Hendred to avoid the Reading Road. There were not too many complaints about the gravel surface and it enabled us to get back into Wantage for a swift drink at the King Alfred's Head.
