Sunday ride to Bampton (group 2)
Sunday, 9 May 2021 - 10:00am
Ride or Event Navigation
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
Unusually, everyone was early, so we were able to set off 5 minutes early – possibly a club first! The extra 5 minutes was useful, as the road to Bampton seemed a bit longer than usual as we rode into the wind. The Yelford Road came as nice relief from the bigger roads up to that point. We managed to have brief outdoor conversations with the other groups as we overlapped with them at coffee. After coffee, the only notable climb of the day got us up to Buckland, soon after which we were able to cash in the morning’s head wind with a run of tail wind.
