Report:
Torrential rain on the M4 was rather contrary to the weather forecast, so I was most surprised to see 8 people turn out, including two new riders, Debbie and Steve. It was nearly 7 though, as we waited in the drizzle for Paul, and had just decided to go without him when he arrived, condemning us to a further 10 minutes in the wet before setting off - Paul, you need to sort your routefinding out!

As we went round it got brighter and brighter, and with no incidents for us (although we did find a white transit parked half way up a tree with some yoofs standing around wondering how they were going to explain that to the rental company!) we transitioned from flat country to undulating with a couple of worthwhile hills and then back to the flat for the run back.

Well done everyone for keeping the pace reasonable, and my utmost apologies to John for making him pant a little on the run in from Fairford.

Distance:
69.50 km (43.19 mi)
