Fairweather Thursday biking on Wednesday.

Last Wednesday I went out on another ride with Susan around Wallingford. Wiki gave us a good route to follow from Stoke Row. We started at Wiki's house in Stoke Row and then followed some roads and bridle paths towards the south through mostly forests.

As it turned out I only took some photos of trees and none of the route that we followed or any of anyone cycling either. Still they were a few pretty pictures of very green trees.

We found some great single tracks trough the forests and also managed to get very very lost while cycling though Bottom Woods.

There was plenty of wildlife around the area, from loads of rabbits in the fields to grouse and deer in the woods.

Susan picked up a puncture in the woods after a small climb. Fortunately I had the tools to replace the inner tube. Then upon coming out of the woods we thought we had come out at one point when it turned out we actually came out somewhere else. We eventually ended up at Whitchurch-on-Thames, much further south than either of us had expected.

The only real problem was that it was about 8pm at this point and only I had lights on my bike. We did eventually get back to the cars in Stoke Row but it was gone 9.30 by then and quite dark.

The only thing left to do was to stop off at the local pub for a quick drink and some much needed food. It was a really fun ride in the end, despite getting hopelessly lost.
