Ride report
A different choice of route to the A40 crossing and a loop into Thrupp from the north gave variety to this mid-winter ride. Lunchtime conversation too had its moments when a relatively innocent comment about where to purchase mirror tiles soon had us pondering the latest Ann Summers’ “playful” Christmas offers. Some of the puzzled frowns were genuine.
