Riders:Andy PixtonJan McCabe Jo Little John Tranter Katherine Boyce Richard Kidd Sharon Bedford Yvonne Bird Riders = 8 Report:It is surprising how starting just a little way from Wantage opens the possibilities to visit areas we don't get to very often. I think we all enjoyed cycling somewhere different and were impressed by the great scenery.We made good progress to Chipping Norton - so decided to push on to Cafe de la Post at Chadlington for our first stop. Being a bank holiday Monday the weather forecast was for rain - and we did wonder how soggy we might get. We considered ourselves lucky therefore not to get rain until after our second stop at Aston Pottery. Unfortunately there was then a heavy downpour so we all got somewhat damp. Although it would have been better to stay dry we agreed it didn't distract from what was a lovely day's ride. Thanks to everyone for being a great group. | ||
