Report:
A short family ride was planned but with only experienced riders signed up plan B was employed.
A lovely ride out to a favourite coffee destination Blakes at Clanfield.
The day was fine if a little overcast although the company was bright! Des and Karl had their matching kits on to delight all.

We headed out to Denchworth on to Charney and Hatford before climbing to the A420 where we tuned left for a brief period before turning right into Littleworth. Thanks Roger for leading the first group and slowing the traffic for us, great job!

A beautiful ride through the village, and the pleasure of a wonderful decent towards the Thames, a proper 'weeee hill' Turning right towards Clanfield we were on the road to coffee and life was good. The coffee and bun did not disappoint me, David enjoyed his Scotch egg and Susan recommends the vegatarian rolls. Des and Karl were just grumpy!

Having been fully re- fuelled we made our way to Bampton and up the Hill from the Trout to Buckland. A quick rest and chat and we were on the home stretch Via Charney and Denchworth.

Great ride for Susan the longest in a long while and set a good pace.

A thoroughly enjoyable ride with great company, thanks to all.
