Ride report

A warm sunny day was forecast, the slightly cool breeze soon became less cool. The breeze remained, and we had a tail wind to lunch. After our now customary walk under the railway at the station, we went via Fyfield where we picked up Phil P, and on to coffee, the roads were not too busy. Andy P joined us just before coffee on his new bike (another Pearson of course). From coffee it was quiet lanes through some pretty Cotswold villages to lunch in Eastleach. Originally we had been booked in to be inside, but shaded out door tables awaited us for lunch. Food wasn’t the cheapest, but it was very good. Somewhere between ordering and arriving, some confusion arose between mussels and oysters, but eventually the correct shells arrived. The morning breeze felt more like a wind as we rode into it all the way home. We stopped in Shilton by the ford, where Andy took a photo of us outside his house. Turns out his new bike colour matches the garage door perfectly. A route via Carterton, Yelford and Eynsham got us to the A40 which we followed to Oxford.
