A nippy ride to start with. Traffic was manic in Wantage, and pretty busy all the way through Abingdon, so I varied the route to focus on the quieter roads.

No dramas, good pace, good banter. Jon turned off at Gainfield to head back home, and the other JB and I nattered all the way back to Wantage.

Next week, on to 6:30 starts and rides in daylight... wonder if we'll have to cancel a summer ride due to snow, if The Beast From The East 3 puts in an appearance?
