Ride report

We were pleased to see 22 riders out today. Splitting into 2 groups with 2 leaders and 2 sweepers now seems to be standard for our club. Too hot to eat outside, so 13 huddled together inside the George and Dragon in Quainton. On the way home, there was an opportunity to skip the climb to Brill, but everyone opted to give it a go and join in the photo at the top. But where was the ice cream van?
