Couldn't persuade PinkPal to ride with me today and with the |pub only being about 13 miles away I decided to find a longer route there. I started via Drove Lane and Mollie's Dismount wondering if it needs to be renamed Bryce's. I managed to ride it without too much puffing, so no change needed. I have been disappointed with pub lunches recently so in Oakley I popped into the village shop and got a meal deal for £3. I ate it in a wooden bench at the edge of Dummer village before joining the other members in the pub garden. It was excellent value. Tasty tuna & cucumber sandwich with crisps and a bottle of orange juice. A lively group at the pub including a good number of riders from Fleet. It was great to be able to chat with them. I caught up with Roger on my way home and we had a good natter before going our own ways. The Candover Brook is dry down past Brown Candover.
