Ride report

Twelve set off for this longer than usual ride, with waterproofs packed just in case. According to our Garmin (see the Connect link), our maximum speed was 227.3km/h. As they say, “to err is human, but it takes a computer to really louse things up”. At coffee, 2 members from Witney joined us for the ride to lunch in Eastleach. Peter led us on some interesting lanes and a fair bit of bumpy off-road as we crossed the river at Northmoor lock – a first for some of us, and preferably not to be repeated on skinny tyres pumped up to 100+ psi.
