Riders: Andy Cowan Andy Pixton David Smith James Pittard Jason Jones Nick Fisher Paul Jarvis Phil Stubbings Riders = 8 Weather: Report: A group of eight riders headed out straight into a head wind. I was glad when David Smith came to the front to help the lagging leader! We made good time to Faringdon heading out to Coleshill descending then shortly after followed another climb. We then decided on a slight route change as the wind was building up and clouds rolling in. Heading to Watchfield then onto Longcot and back to original route where the group picked up pace through Shellingford, Fernham and Denchworth Ride moving time was 2:10 which was good for 60km given the windy conditions returning by 8:40.
Distance: 60.00 km (37.28 mi)
