Rang tea shop who advised closed at 3pm! This seemed to be preferred option (cakes always essential!) so we targeted getting back in time, taking short cut missing out Uffington, only to find when I rang tea shop again they had had an evacuation due to fire nearby! Good ole Fox at Denchworth saved the day! A nice enjoyable ride, weather bright, and not cold once we got going! Felt like the start of the season for those of us who, admittedly, had not been out for a while... Thanks everybody | ||
