Report:
We started off from Grove 9 in number and met up with a couple more at Steventon. After a pleasant cycle to the north of Didcot we arrived at North Moreton where we lost Robin & Steve B to a puncture. We carried on, worked our way round to Hagbourne where Steve Q & Michael left for home. Chris left soon afterwards and Maurice left us at the garden centre. Then we were 5. However Robin & Steve rejoined us there and Adrian West met us by car as he had had a problem with his bike.

After the tea stop it was getting dark. We avoided the path to East Hendred by using the A417 to W Hendred and made our way back to Grove via Lains Barn.

Loving the music to the vids - very motivational - how about launching a CTC Wantage turbo training DVD for the Thursday night sessions? :)
