A scenic route passing over The River Thames twice. I’ll aim to have a quick coffee stop at Aston Pottery.

Report:I picked up this ride from Eddie as he was, unfortunately, unwell.The proposed route was duly followed, including a stop for coffee at Aston Pottery. This proved to be very well timed as we got in before The Phoenix, Abingdon Freewheelers and sundry others arrived! A very select group of three riders - I don't lead many 3 star rides but a decent (unassisted) pace of 23.2 kph was maintained. Joy and Barry waited for me after the only hill up into Faringdon though! A thankfully rain and wind free ride. | ||
