Report:A cooler day with even a few spots of rain was a welcome change as we made our way into the Cotswolds. The 45k to Coln St Aubyn is pretty flat so we made good time and arrived for coffee before 11am. It’s a great spot and very popular with cyclists but service is extremely slow. The next phase was much hillier and we made lunch at the Farm cafe in Shrivenham by 13:00. Great service and good coffee. We then made our way home, conquerIng Fawler hill and enjoying the views on the path from Childrey to Challow. A lovely ride with a great group. | ||
