Ride report

Driving in to Oxford the evening before meant ride leader got a steer on floodwater! In consequence of which the route to coffee at Twyford was slightly amended and the route from lunch at Launton forgotten about completely! A bright start became steely grey with rain after lunch – lights on at 2.30!
