Sunday ride to Boarstall and Bicester
Sunday, 8 January 2017 - 9:30am
Ride or Event Navigation
For many years, the first ride of the year has been to The Penny Black in Bicester, but for a change, it will be the second ride.
Ride report
Heavy rain first thing didn’t seem to put people off – and they were rewarded when blue sky soon emerged. The decor at coffee in the golf club/hotel was palatial and quite unlike what we are used to. We were pleasantly surprised not to be charged hotel prices.
