Please book lunch by Friday 6pm. Thank you.

A short route to a choice of coffee venues in Abingdon market place. A ride on to the community run The Crown at South Moreton, going up through Garsington on the way home.

Ride report

We had a great turn out (15 for lunch) on a sunny day with a bit of a chilly north-east wind. An unusual route out through Sandford – walking across the lock of course. Coffee inside and out in the market place with a bonus Gruffalo post box topper. A nice lunch at a ‘new’ (to most of us) venue. It was a bit harder work on the way back into the wind.
