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.

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.
