Report:
This was definitely one for warmer clothing!
A chilly start, that didn't warm up a lot.
10 riders gathered at Bampton Garden Plants for the start, 6 riding out from home and 4 making use of the car park.
The ride was a series of loops, offering the odd 'deja vue' moment here and there......and introducing roads that were new to some of us.
Lunch was taken at Aston Pottery, generous portions as ever.
The published ride was 35km, I totalled 71km, some will have done more.
A fabulous group to ride with.
Distance:
35.00 km (21.75 mi)

Didn't see anyone at Aston but maybe I was too early but I did find the Museum Resource Center in Standlake.
