Ten riders set off from the square on a chilly wet morning. After reaching Stonebench we passed through Elmore to reach Longney, Epney, and Saul.
Turning left in Saul, the rain eased somewhat, but soon after Whitminster it started again. We took the small lane through Eastington, then passed through Frocester, turning left at the George to Kings Stanley.
Afetr crossing the Stroud by-pass, we turned right to Cairnscross then up Paganhill Lane, along Stratford Road to reach the Painswick Road. The coffee stop was at The Malthouse Collective, Salmon Springs Trading Estate, about 23 miles from the Square.
