Ride straight to early lunch, no coffee stop
Sunday, 3 January 2016 - 10:00am
Ride or Event Navigation
Starting the New Year as we mean to continue – on our bikes and keeping fit. For as long as we can remember, our first outing of the year has been to the Penny Black in Bicester. If it ain’t broke… Scope to shorten the route after lunch.
Ride report
We knew that it would be a day for the waterproofs, but in fact the rain did stop 15km from home, and there was even a patch of blue sky. To help us recover from Christmas excesses, our leader chose the hilliest possible route to Bicester and we followed without demur, knowing that it was for our own good. Nine met for lunch in Bicester, but they weren’t all riders: one arrived by train and another by car. Our ride reports never name and shame, but we know who you are and we have a long memory.
