Riders:Andy PixtonBarry Stanton Eddie Little Jo Little Katherine Boyce LeeAnn Norris Roger Postbeschild Riders = 7 Weather: Report:This was an enjoyable ride that skirted the edge of the Cotswolds - which gave us some lovely scenery and villages to cycle through. Our first stop was at the Church Hanborough Coffee shop - a new one for all of us - and it is highly recommended. Open all day, every day with a good choice of cooked food or cakes and plenty of seating, making it a great stopping place. We then continued round the north of Witney before coming to our second stop at Aston Pottery - which was as good as always.A pleasant ride out with great company and an added bonus to have Kath joining us for the first part of the ride. Thanks everyone. | ||
