Starting in Wantage market place we'll go through Childrey and Uffington before crossing the A420 at Great Coxwell, then loop up through some lovely countryside before lunch at the Humble Bumble cafe in Brize Norton. We'll then go back on a familiar route to Kingston Bagpuize and then back to Wantage. 61 miles and most of the climbing done in the first half of the ride. It is recommended to order our food in advance as service can be slow at busy times. They were very efficient doing it this way last time we visited. Please can you let me know your order by the afternoon of saturday 19th March.
Riders: Eddie Little Jo Little Lisa Footner Roger Postbeschild Riders = 4 Weather: Report: We had a beautiful, sunny day, lovely villages to cycle through and signs of Spring everywhere - including my first lambs of the year. The Humble Bumble was as efficient as ever and surprisingly quiet. We were also joined by Jackie from Wallingford CTC group, who is building up to a Lejog in July. Thanks to everyone for being such a good humoured group to lead.
