+ Google Calendar+ iCal Export
A healthy lunch break
Good discipline, leaving rooms for cars to get by
Rain didn´t last long but was heavy
Mainly dry by lunchtime
Cycle track east of Ditchley Park

After riding with the Isis Cyclists (Rides for Women) to Woodstock for coffee, we head north of the County to revisit Duns Tew.

Ride report

Crossing fingers in hope did nothing to avert the rain, which was heavy when it arrived (see photo), but thankfully was brief and by the time we got to lunch we were mainly dry. The route back from Duns Tew to Combe, via empty tracks east of Ditchley park (see photo), is largely traffic free and worth a visit if you don´t know it.
