Daytime 1* Thursday Ride 1*
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
10:00 am
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
A ride out to Pusey, one of my favourite hidden places, where we will stop by the Italianate church. From Charney Bassett there is a stretch of easy off-road to reach Pusey: first on a gravel track, then on a grassy track through woods and finally a short stretch of field. All bone dry at present! After Pusey, we'll continue to Stanford for refreshments at the coffee house. Return via Park Lane making a round trip of 16 miles.

Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Easy sociable ride of 24-32 km (15-20 miles) at a pace of 14-17km/h (9-11 mph).

Report:
A fairly uneventful ride overall apart from a small navigation failure on my part in the back streets of Abingdon. Fortunately we had locals with us to help find The Barns Cafe. The doughnuts were up to their usual high standard and enjoyed by many. We split into two roughly equal groups and seemed not to be holding up traffic to any greatr degree.
The weather gods weren't as kind to us as I had hoped as the forecast 18 degrees never materialised and there was a strong wind which challenged us on the way out but helped us significantly on the return leg.
No mechanicals/technical issues for anyone this time.
