A lovely ride combining a few of my favourite local villages to get the miles in! Out to Locking via Laines Barn and onto Betterton and Ginge before returning along the cycle path and the Bridge of Doom to Ardington. Unfortunately Des had a puncture and abandoned the ride on the path out of Ginge, fortunately he happened across the 1* group who were going to the Grocers Chef so joined them! We continued on to Wantage and the Letcombes on our way to Childrey for coffee. The plan was the shop but unfortunately there was not room for us so we headed on to the Cantorist and enjoyed the ambience of the garden. On then to Goosey and Denchworth before returning to Grove. A lovely morning with great company as always.
