Riders:Chris BaileyJoy Arthur Katherine Boyce Lisa Footner Richard Ashford Roger Turnbull Sharon Bedford Riders = 7 Weather:  Report:Always interesting to go East. Slightly late leaving OMH, ended up following the 2* group to Denchworth, interesting to observe the cars approach to so many cyclists in a short space! We went through the road closed signs to reach Hanney and as expected, fine for cyclists. The planned changes to the route, worked and the lovely new cycle path going out of Didcot was particularly good, although I am still trying to work out who would be using it and where they would be going as it doesn't connect with any of the surrounding cycle network.We availed ourselves of the non-car way up from Upton to Chilton that will hopefully become permanent (and does tie in really well with the surrounding cycle network) and deviated from the planned route to use the cycle path to Harwell site. Very good to start with and a bit iffy towards the end - almost at the Icknield Greenway standard! We avoided the Greenway and used the farmers track to Ginge, with a nifty exit courtesy of Roger. Thank you all for being such a great group to 'lead' and not giving me a hard time for so much off-road  | ||
