Out via Cumnor Hill for a warm up, then downhill to coffee and cake at Aston Pottery. Gently rolling countryside takes us to lunch and home again.
Ride report
After fighting strong headwinds up Cumnor hill and on to Aston for coffee, we enjoyed almost spring-like, but windy conditions, marred only slightly by an attack of horizontal, face-stinging hailstones before lunch. Otherwise a perfect, sunny day out!
