Was this the first day of spring cycling? A good turnout with varying degrees of white flesh on display. An uneventful ride with a good pace maintained throughout. A southerly wind was evident on the return leg but didn't hindered us too much. Welcome to Matt on his first CTC Wantage ride. Thanks to Richard and John for sweeping duties. | ||
