Riders = 15

Weather:
sunny
Report:
Just to prove the theory that the Thursday 2 star rides are the best supported, we had 15 riders to enjoy the sunshine.
A slightly different route to Abingdon - a guided tour of the outskirts of Dalton Barracks.
Homeward leg not exactly as published, we risked Peep O' Day Lane not being flooded. It wasn't......just!
Java Café was busy, but efficient.Their coffee is amongst the best. Sitting in the sun in Abingdon Market Square was positively toasty.
John kindly led group 2 and Roger T swept, until peeling off for home in Steventon. No mechanicals, thanks to all.
Distance:
46.00 km (28.58 mi)
