The weather was not as bright as forecast and we rode mostly throughj cloud and light drizzle, but this didnt dampen our spirits. We rode out through Baulking and Fernham, Little Coxwell and onto Blakes at Coleshill for coffee and cinnamon buns. My reliable source of information advised that it woudl be quiet, however it was packed and we huddled together on gloves waterproof trousers beneath an umbrella for our refreshments, which thankfully were delightful! We then made haste on our journey home to keep warm via Radcot Littleworth and Hatford. Thanks for the company.
