Sunday, 11 October 2020 - 9:30am

+ Google Calendar+ iCal Export

Meeting and starting from the Elsfield turn just off the By-pass near Marston, we then head north up as far as Somerton on a scenic ride with just a few lumps, nothing too onerous. Stopping on the way back at the café at the Greenhill farm campsite just outside Bletchington.

Ride report

There was a chilly wind but lots of sunshine to highlight the views. The cafe at the Greenhill Farm Campsite in Bletchingdon was open and served a decent cup of coffee. Today’s ride is an example of why it is worth booking on a ride even though there is a waiting list. Helen was second on the waiting list right up to Saturday evening and then a couple of cancellations meant she was able to come with us.
