First ride of 2016 - Finch to Wellington Farm Shop - 23 miles

A bright but cold day for my first ride of 2016. Still congested and getting over a cold, so  not particularly fit..... and I felt it, particularly on the return journey.

Have done  much of this ride before, with just a slight detour through Barge Lane Nr Swallowfield. Barge Lane continues across the A33 but it seems that the only way to get there is a quick dash over the A33 crossing the central reservation. Barge Lane then continues into Bull Lane and the Farm Shop for Coffee stop.

I took my GoPro out today so made a short film of our ride, with just a handful of photos too.

Road block on Nashgrove Lane! I had to get off to get around them, getting very
muddy feet in the process.

Thanks to our leaders Stephanie and Carole for a lovely morning out...... sorry if I was a bit slow!
