Seven riders at the start in the early morning sunshine. More than expected and all were richly rewarded with a wonderful ride into the Cotswolds.

It was a bit chilly to start but we were dressed for the conditions and were warm within half an hour. The ride was a delight - dry roads, very little traffic, beautiful views, charming villages - in dappled sunshine.

We dropped two riders, who needed to get back, at the Cafe de la Post in Chadlington. The rest of us went on to dine at the Old Mill Coffee House. We had the gentle breeze at our back on the flat return leg.
Marvellous
