Ride report
One of our riders had a nasty fall coming round the slippery bend opposite the entrance to Waterperry Gardens, so we stopped there for coffee instead of continuing on to Thame. Winds were gusting up to 42 mph, which is about our limit. We don’t mind riding into a headwind; it’s the sudden gusts, particularly those from our left, which are disconcerting.
