There were five of us in the Union Street car park in Woodstock. Three had ridden from Wantage to join the others who travelled from further afield.

As we set off the English summer made its appearance. The hills and warming conditions led to protective layers of clothing being removed and we arrived with a good appetite at Mrs Browns in Shipston for a solid breakfast.

The return route was flatter and sunnier. (The return leg from Woodstock to Wanage was pretty good too.)

A great away ride in the Cotswolds!
