Group Ride Saturday 6th July 2024
Group ride with Alec Gore.
A select four braved the showers and turned out for Alec's Sat Cafe run to The Cafe at Sherfield
on Loddon. It was a Level 2 ride so we stayed together as a group and didn't need to deploy
markers, but thanks to Carl for keeping an eye from the back.
It was a 70-mile ride made up of B-roads, good C-roads and a couple of "lanes". Heavy overnight
rain had brought down a lot of washout in places, mainly gravel but some mud as well. Well done
to Steve for steering through his "moment" in one of them.
The route took us out through the Candovers then to Odiham and Hartley Witney before the cafe stop. It really is a great place with excellent coffee and cakes, but Alec couldn't give the Eggs Benedict a miss having pictured it in the notice of the ride! The second half brought more lanes up to Grazeley Green, then the B3051 back through Tadley, Aldermaston, Kingsclere and Overton with an easy ride down the A30 to finish at Sutton Scotney.
