A flat ride out to Bampton for coffee, a hill in to Buckland before crossing south of A420 and back into Oxford down Cumnor Hill.

Ride report

After a damp early morning we met in sunshine at Broad St. A nice ride out even if on busy ish roads and blustery headwind. One rider stopped at coffee lured by plants and more coffee and chat with 2nd and 3rd groups. A great tail wind assisted return. One rider turned for Abingdon at Fyfield and then two more headed for ‘more hills’ at Cumnor leaving leader to complete ride alone (and drive back to pick up from Garden Centre!)
