A very unpromising morning for weather, but great to see two other nutters, Phil and Richard, game for a shortened ride. The strong wind pushed us rather quickly to Faringdon, via Fernham Road. At the T junction with the A420 there are currently 3-way traffic lights at roadworks for addition of a cycle/pedestrian crossing with central refuge - a very welcome addition!
As our usual cafe in the centre of Faringdon was closed/not yet open we snatched a quick coffee in Costa and checked the weather forecast. With rain still forecast to hit at 1030, and the wind freshening we re-traced our route to Fernham. In fact we were close to Uffington when the first drops started to fall, and the rain was quite heavy as we got to the Springline road. The last stretch back to Wantage proved quite challenging in the Strong Southerly cross wind, where we went our separate ways. Thanks guys - good to fit in a ride on a morning like that!
