Our ride leader turned up in car sans bike at 6:30 to apologise for forgetting to leave work on time... So after a quick consultation, the decision was made to head eastwards, up Lains Barn road to Lockinge and Hendreds, back via Steventon.Surprisingly given the beautiful evening and the completion of both the World Cup and Wimbledon, there were only 13 of us. So just 1 group (in theory). After the steady climb to Ginge we split before the farm track, with those on road bikes taking the road option through West Hendred and the A417 to East Hendred. Regrouped we turned down Featherbed Lane and then down the hill towards Steventon. I had decided to do the loop through the village taking the turning before the railway bridge and warned those nearby not to rush ahead. Unfortunately Kevin then swept pass and out of earshot as I started to signal left... the track itself had deteriorated markedly since we last used it (sorry guys) but brought us through the back of the village along the causeway (delightful). After waiting for a few minutes at the level crossing, we continued parallel to the Causeway as far as the main road and turned back westwards towards Cow Common. Several of the fast riders then disappeared into the distance in TdF breakaway mode. Returning through the Hanneys and Denchworth we were back at the Square at 8:10 after an enjoyable 20 miles.
