Report:
A good turnout,we are starting to get some regulars,Paul,Phil,Frank and Janet,plus Richard stepped over from the "Dark side",Simon made a welcome return and David brought his new bike out to play,which seemed to be going pretty quick to me,so thanks everyone,the more the merrier.

The quick start was hindered by some idiot getting a puncture again but thankfully the group spared his blushes and fixed it in 5,so thanks David,you saved us at least half an hour there!

On to the end of the A417,found our way immediately to the Fernham turn, through Shrivenham,on to half a climb up Ashbury Hill and back to The Fox tucked in behind Big Frank and Richard.
Thanks Jarv for sweeping,horses for courses,eh!
