Riders:Anke OttoBarry Stanton Clare Hazell David Jackson Des Higgs Louise Bowers Paul Wensley Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 9 Report:A beautiful morning for a bike ride, the sun was out the wind was light and the company great!We headed out to Fernham via Denchworth, Goosey and Baulking. Having reached Fernham we climbed the hill and enjoyed the descent into Little Coxwell before facing the challenge that was the A420 on a holiday Saturday... Thankfully a friendly bus driver allowed us to cross safely and we went onto Great Coxwell, Badbury Clumps and Coleshill. From here we went onto Buscot, Little Faringdon and Broughton Poggs before reaching our destination the Cotswold Woollen Weavers Cafe at Filkins. What a beautiful place, fabulous woollen clothing and a museum to marvel. The coffee and cakes were very welcome too! our return journey was via Langford, Grafton, Radcot, Littleworth, Hatford, and Charney Basset. A longer than normal half day ride, but a very enjoyable way to spend the day, Thanks to all for joining me.  | ||
