Nice to see Mike Fitton at the start, having come to collect his buff! Also great to see John Blake out with us again after a while - hopefully we'll see more of you now you're living more locally!

No big fuss other than Nick's comedy "off" that gave us a few moments respite from the nagging and nippy northerly wind.

A good long breakfast stop in the always-excellent Bampton Garden Centre cafe - consensus was that the sausages were heavenly.

Slightly non-standard route back from Bampton, but it gave everyone a change to stretch their legs a little on the A417. Thank you to everyone for turning out on such a nippy morning, and making it a very easy ride to lead!
