After a night of high winds and heavy rain, it wasn't surprising that only four of us gathered in the Market Place - and John only made a last-minute decision to ride. A strong, blustery wind made progress difficult at times but almost all the ride was done in the dry until our luck ran out and we hit a blustery shower coming into Denchworth. Road conditions were filthy throughout. We had a couple of close passes, one particularly egregious one near Fernham on a blind bend - why? This was my first visit to the Bampton Lynwood and I was impressed, although I can see it would be problematic with a larger group of riders. Thanks Nick and Louis for taking the bulk of the front-riding. Three-quarters attendance at KAH.
