Extra ride: Grove - Chipping Norton and return	3*

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 9:00 am	Start Location: Grove Millbrook Square - outside Tescos
Description: Riding with the CTC Oxfordshire group as far as Chipping Norton (lunch) and then returning via different route. Touring pace outwards, maybe returning a little quicker. 100km or thereabouts in total. Please contact Chris Walters in advance if you intend to come.
Riders: Adrian West Chris Walters Ginny Henderson Matt Chambers Riders = 4 Report: Five set off from Grove, making good pace for the elevenses rendezvous with the others. After a bacon butty, Chris, Steve, Ginny, Tony, Adrian, James and Rosey, Richard Morris, and Matt Chambers cracked on along some "interesting" lanes up to Chippy, where a pleasant lunch was had at the Old Mill - Ginny had peeled off at Woodstock to make her ride a shorter one. After lunch, Chris, Adrian and Matt, headed back via Minster Lovell and Bampton (quick ice-cream stop). A great day's riding, pretty tiring, but in glorious weather and great company. Sleeping well is definitely on the agenda for tonight!

Was a brilliant ride and I was totally worn out by the end. Well worth doing again :)
