The quick start was hindered by some idiot getting a puncture again but thankfully the group spared his blushes and fixed it in 5,so thanks David,you saved us at least half an hour there! On to the end of the A417,found our way immediately to the Fernham turn, through Shrivenham,on to half a climb up Ashbury Hill and back to The Fox tucked in behind Big Frank and Richard.
