En route for lunch in Faringdon

A longer ride westwards through the Thames valley and the Vale of White Horse. Plenty of flat roads, but with hills around Cumnor, Coleshill and Faringdon.

Ride report

Twenty riders for coffee and 11 continuing to lunch are healthy numbers for our club – and the gender split remains encouraging.
