Ride report

Sunday happened also to be the day of Bike Oxford’s rides. Members who know my views on Bike Oxford will be thankful I don’t elaborate further. But their official photographer’s only interest was to get a photo on people on bikes, regardless of their affiliation. The benefit of publishing our arrival time for the coffee stop allows riders to join us without having to ride into Oxford for the start. This Sunday was no exception, as 4 members waved us over to join them at their table at Waterperry Gardens. As promised, our choice of climb up Brill Hill was not the hardest (that is Muswell Hill) – but perhaps the second hardest.
