A perfect warm summer evening for a bike ride and very little traffic too as we left Wantage. The first half of the ride to Longcot was into a blustery head wind but we made good progress to Gainfield with the breeze on our backs. Richard had cycled in from Faringdon so the pace dropped as we headed back to Wantage.

Lawrence is in training for his Lands End to Birmingham ride so he peeled off in Grove to get some extra miles in and Phil Ingles joined him to go home via Abingdon. Richard and I returned to the Market Place before 8-30pm.

Great ride.
