Given the current Covid situation, we ask that anyone coming for lunch or coffee inside does a lateral flow test on the morning of the ride or the evening before. This will be in place until the situation improves. Thank you for your co-operation.

Sunday ride to Bampton and Aston
Sunday, 17 October 2021 - 9:30am
Ride or Event Navigation
Note changed start venue - Cornmarket, outside Waterstones
A ride out to a couple of favourites with a little loop on some quiet lanes in between.
Ride report
Starting point confusion, grey skies with spots of rain and a pre-coffee puncture on a new tyre! did nothing to dampen the spirits. It felt quite warm and the sun shone later. Coffee and cake at the increasingly upmarket Bampton GC was very welcome and a nice lunch at Aston.
