Report:A chilly morning requiring layers and gloves, so we set off at a fair pace to keep warm, riding through Denchworth, Goosey, Baulking and Fernham before stopping at Little Coxwell for a drink and regroup. Thankfully the sun had started to break through. We then headed onto Great Coxwell past the Tithe barn and onto Badbury Clumps where we were greeted by a spectacular display of bluebells and very friendly national trust staff. Time to derobe before enjoying the descent into Coleshill where the apple crumble cake proved very popular and was truly scrumptious. Refuelled we rode through Little Faringdon and Langford and on to Bampton where we stopped for comfort break and some lunch. it was then time for the last hill of the day up to Buckland from Buckland Marsh and back to Grove via Charney Bassett.A great ride through very quiet and scenic countryside and villages with great company in spite of the bad Dad jokes, Barry Stanton! | ||
