A great group assembled, we enjoyed the wonderful new tarmac on Main Street before collecting more riders at Charlton and Lark Hill. Then it was just a lovely potter around the lanes and tracks of Lockinge, Ginge and Ardington. Great cafe stop at the Grocer Chef and then the final challenge of the Lains Barn climb and descent back to Grove. Thanks to all for great company.
