Circuit of Cirencester

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: Cerney Wick (just off A417 between Swindon and Cir
Description: 69km at a moderate pace doing a flat(ish) clockwise circuit of Cirencester, taking in Kemble, Daglingworth, Barnsley, Bibury, Fairford and Latton. No planned stops, but could be persuaded en route There's a really nice visitor centre / cafe at the start/finish, together with a large Cotswold Outdoor shop. Probably have coffee before the start (get there early if you want a coffee) and a cake afterwards. You must let me know if you plan to come along - if no-one calls me, the ride won't happen!
Riders: Amanda Seddon Chris Walters Henk Altmann (deceased) Jon Seddon Sorrel Williams Riders = 5 Report: The ride went as planned - a good quick start as a warm up as far as Kemble, where the roads become a little more "undulating" and navigation more of a challenge. Fantastic Cotswold villages at Winson, Ablington and Bibury led us back through the mist towards Fairford, where Sorrel suffered a puncture. We had a quick run back to Cerney Wick from Fairford - total distance 72.5km, average speed 23.5km/h, lunch stop for the leisurely at the end.
