Riders:Angela SandersBryan Charleston Chris Lea Chris Walters Ginny Henderson Maurice Bawden Philip Thornton-Evison Sorrel Williams Steve Sanders Riders = 9 Report:A fantastic morning ride which started a little misty but no sign of rain.We started from Wantage and then headed out to Chilton via Lockinge, the Hendreds, Rowstock and Harwell. We then joined the A417 through Blewbury and up to Ashton Tirrold with none of the threatened head wind. We then wound our way through South and North Moreton to Brightwell cum Sotwell and then took the road to Wittenhams (sneaky hill, sorry!). Onwards to Clifton Hampden, Culham, Sutton Courtenay, Drayton and Steventon to our lunch destination in West Hanney at 12pm where we were joined by Richard. The Plough couldn't have been more accomodating with the excellent food and hospitality - definitely a bike friendly pub. 55km in total | ||
