Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Sociable ride of 24-40 km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 18-20km/h (11-13 mph). Weather forecast now looks OK. Bloomfields at Shrivenham, out via Uffington, return via Shellingford. Please use the bike racks outside the cafe.
Riders: Angie Fisher Anke Otto David Bridge David Jackson Des Higgs Geoff Neill John Groves Joy Arthur Louise Bowers Pauline Clark Peter Dalgliesh Roger Postbeschild Riders = 12 Weather: Report: Probably the best day of the week, weather wise, dry with a light southerly wind. Good to see returns, after injuries and ailments, of Joy, David J and Peter. A wonderfully uneventful ride, we sat inside at Bloomfields as the outside seats were still soggy from yesterday's rain. There were a few grumbles about leaving the bikes outside, we may try putting them in 'the garden' next time! Some slight wind assistance on the return trip was most welcome.
Distance: 45.00 km (27.96 mi)
