NEW: LUNCH AT THE STAG IN LECKHAMPSTEAD (INSTEAD OF FOX AT PEASEMORE). And don't forget the 9am start!
Ride report
An early 9am start 🙁
Since the route south was through Kennington, 3 local riders decided to save 10km and wait for the main group in Kennington by the War memorial. By 9.40 it had become clear that the group had taken a different route. Taking a direct route to Blewbury, the Kennington riders made up for lost time and rejoined the rest for coffee at Savages. Rough tracks for much of the way home and 2 punctures. “Lovely” views of Didcot towers (so I was told by an enthusiast). How will we find our bearings once they are no longer?
