Report:A chilly northerly wind was not welcoming, but it was great to see a brave group joining me. We had a very pleasant ride around the Vale, with a lovely coffee stop at the Cantorist in Childrey.We finished off with a mini-tour of the Wellington Gate development and managed to narrowly avoid some apocalyptic looking storm clouds. Thanks to everyone for good company. | ||

Report:A slightly longer ride this week (with no complaints). We set off with a chilly wind and in fact we had pretty much all weather conditions possible so kept the speed at the top end of 2* to keep warm. Clare at the Baking Bee in Ashbury looked after us well as usual. On the return we had a headwind but no hills to speak of.A very enjoyable ride with very good company. Thanks to all. | ||
Distance:50.00 km (31.07 mi) | ||
