Another good turnout, and nice to see Peter on his bi-annual guest ride!

We split into a couple of groups (thanks to John for leading the other group). It never got properly warm although there was a moment in the suntrap of Farmoor Reservoir cafe (we had decided to stop there as an alternative to the Farmoor Stores), and it was just as well as the service was glacial. Claire punctured near Kingston Bagpuize on the way out, whch gave good separation between the groups.

The return started chilly, but after the climb of Cumnor Hill, it mysteriously warmed up, just in time for a few spots of rain near Appleford.

No pub stop at the end today, it just wasn't warm enough!
