Report:An intrepid 4 set off from Grove in very unpromising conditions. We had strong headwinds on the way to Fyfield, but it didn't really rain all afternoon. Apparently my original route involved swimming the Thames at Bablock Hythe, so I extended it around Farmoor Reservoir to the outskirts of Eynsham.Rather than do a short section on the A415 near Standlake we took a path between the lakes, it was a little muddy but no problem otherwise. Tea & cake at Aston Pottery were very welcome, by that point we were 3/4 of the way round and ready for a break. the return to Grove via Buckland was uneventful but enjoyable. Thanks to John & Des for turning out on such an unpromising day, really good to see Des on a ride again. | ||
