Report:A select group of cyclists for this ride. Cold yet sunny morning’s riding, with a coffee stop in Abingdon. The cycle path between Didcot and Long Wittenham is being re-surfaced and will shortly be in excellent condition. Lunch at Golden Balls Notcutt’s along with all the grannies being given Mothering Sunday treats. Steve was suffering from a cold and a sore knee, so we abandoned the middle section of the ride to Stadhampton, back-tracking to Wittenham and over the Clumps to South Morton, then “Cercle de Didcot”. Hagbourne Hill was the only real climb of the day. Steve then led though the Harwell complex and on to the cycle path to Ginge. Back just after 3.00, amazing missed most of the rain showers forecast. | ||
Distance:88.00 km (54.68 mi) | ||
