Riders:Riders = 0Report:11 riders, mostly from Wantage, including newcomer Matthew from Didcot on a sunny but breezy day. It was a steady climb from Witney out via Leafield and alas mostly into the wind. Even the descent to Shipton was hard work, but there were lovely views over the Evenlode valley. We kept to the narrow lanes via Lineham and Sarsden before a final climb up to Churchill and into Chippy.Angela decided she'd had enough having struggled into the wind and managed to hitch a lift back to Witney from friends while Vera was waiting at the cafe having made her own way from home. so numbers stayed at 11 for fantastic wind-assisted return via Dean, Spelsbury, Charlbury, fawler and North Leigh. A lumpy 32 miles. Steve S | ||
