Report:Well you had to be mad to go out on a wet January morning and so no surprise that Steph, David and Karl turned up! We headed out to avoid the headwind going through Denchworth and out via Asti stud and Park Lane to Stanford. We then went on to Hatford taking the path up beside the church to the A 420. A short run into the wind along the A420 we turned into Littleworth and enjoyed the steep decent into the vale. Crossing the Thames by the Swan at Radcot we went on to Blakes for coffee and refreshments; Steph enjoyed the infamous Cinnamon Bun, David a bacon and maple syrup doughnut and Des and Karl very generous bacon butties, apparently there was a shortage of Baps!.Fully fuelled we headed back the shortest route via Bampton Buckland and Charney Bassett to avoid getting cold. A great ride in spite of the weather and as always excellent company, Thanks Des! | ||
