With the Storm Chandra weather looking pretty awful at the start of the day, only two of us gathered in the market square on a pretty wet Tuesday morning.

As is quite often the case, whilst there was some drizzle for the first 1/2 hour, this thankfully blew over pretty quickly and we escaped from getting drenched for the rest of the ride.

Our route to Dorchester was anti-clockwise for a change, which was great until the flints in Ginge bore their teeth and we had a puncture to repair in Hendred barely 1/2 hour into the ride.

Lots of surface water and multiple sets of roadworks to navigate before we made it to Snug, which was lovely with the usual winter fire at full blast.

An uneventful return to Wantage, with even some welcome sunshine!

Thanks Louis for ensuring I braved the elements for what ended up being a good ride out.
