This was the deferred Staycation ride from Thursday, which was cancelled due to poor weather – well what a difference in weather, after the Autumn mist lifted, we had a glorious sunshine. Steady progress was made to St Martin’s Church in Bladon, Louis headed back home just before at Eynsham. As we reached the church the congregation were leaving the after the morning service – we visited the graves of the Spencer-Churchill family, including Sir Winston Churchill, which were bathed in beautiful sunshine. A quick visit inside the church to see the stained-glass windows before we headed back to Eynsham to the Cherry Tree Café. On the way Pete “The mechanic” suffered a wasp sting on his head, which caused some discussion and let us be honest some amusement, while enjoying various refreshments. The ride back to Wantage was again at a good steady pace, we bid farewell to Nick and Andy at various points on the route home. The remaining three of us got back to Wantage and enjoyed a refreshing drink at KAHs. An enjoyable well-disciplined ride all round, thanks.
