Riders:Barry StantonDavid Jackson Des Higgs Karl Blake Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Terry Ryland Riders = 7 Weather: Report:The weather was a great improvement to that forecast and absolutely balmy compared to earlier in the week. Perfect for a ride out with friends.As planned we headed out to Radley via Charney Fyfield and Boars Hill. We were lucky having a tale wind to assist us on our outward journey, although as we headed towards Radley and Crossed the A 34 we met a head wind which slowed us a little. We then rode onto the footpath from Radley Lakes to Abingdon which was somewhat muddy in places, such that those with inappropriate cycles had to stop and clear the mud from their wheels, very sorry chaps. A beautiful scenic stretch nonetheless, with sightings of many water birds, Muntjac, Heron and swans on our way to Abbey meadow. We were all by now ready for a coffee and so we made our way to Annie's by the river for refreshments. Some deliberation about seating ensued, and the ride leader was barracked for opting for outside seating and having her rab jacket! After a relatively short break we headed off to Drayton via the peep o day lane which was perfectly clear and not muddy at all  .We then returned to Grove via Drayton Steventon and Hanney without incident to enjoy further coffee in Costa. A lovely ride with great company as always, thanks chaps! | ||
