Riders:Andy CowanDavid Talboys Louis Hall Nick Dunton Nicole Pethybridge Paul Jarvis Richard Pethybridge Richard Preece Riders = 8 Weather:  Report:We were very lucky with weather: bright sunshine for most of the day with a little mist around Cumnor; cold for the first hour but we soon warmed up. Even the off-road sections were dry after a week without rain.A well-matched group of riders enabled us to keep a good average 3* speed. Back in Wantage at 3.40. We took coffee at Java in Abingdon, sitting in the sunshine in the square. The proposed lunch stop at Newington Nurseries now only does roasts on Sunday so we pushed on to Wallingford where Paul took us for a Brazilian. [Bloc Brazilian coffee shop: excellent coffee, sandwiches & paninis, and they probably pay their taxes! Recommended.] No mishaps, despite a resident of Cumnor who was towing an extra wide trailer trying to dismount Richard P. | ||
