Oxdrove Ride

29k ride today - the Oxdrove Ride with Husband, X, S and M.

S & X did the official shortcut, bringing it to 15 miles. Husband, M & I created a new short cut (switching back at point 27).

Beautiful autumn day with bright sunshine. For no real reason, I felt very sluggish at the start & was contemplating not going - luckily Husband was unsympathetic & I'm glad I did go! I enjoyed going through some impressively deep puddles - I love my waterproof socks very much.

One of the reasons that we cut it short was that we also needed to squeeze in an allotment visit to harvest squashes (butternut & a variety that looks like a mini traditional pumpkin) and plant broad beans - both objectives were achieved. This entailed a little digging.
