Report:A great day out on the bike enjoying the lanes, ups and downs of North Oxfordshire. A lovely group of 7 riders including a local, Sean, from Banbury. Mila tells me we climbed 820m after the first hill. But we took it steadily and everbody was (still) smiling at the end. Full report and pictures will appear on the CTC Oxfordshire website. | ||
