Report:
A very enjoyable brisk ride, weather excellent, lavender in full bloom (memories of grannies linen cupboard). Unable to see mountains in Wales from Broadway Tower Hill as it was a little to misty.

On the return journey it was decided to take a comfort and icecream stop in Northleach.
Good ride, weather and, above all, company. Special thanks to Derek (if it was not for him we could still be there now).

Total of 98k (sorry 2k short).

Distance:
99.14 km (61.60 mi)
