Hi C riders - this will be our last chance to ride as a group before the second lockdown. So, key to the route was to choose a favourite coffee stop - my choice: Croughton Tea Rooms (I will try to book a table but as they are closed Monday/Tuesday, I may not be able to confirm this before Wednesday morning. If they decide to close this week, we can fall back on the Stratton Barn).
The route is a slightly longer version of our ride last Sunday taking in a few more villages as you can see on the route map below (40 miles with coffee stop at 20 miles).
Weather forecast is really good with full sun all morning with a slight NW breeze. However, if roads are wet, please have mudguards on your bikes.
At the Swan Pool (Assemble Point C) & the cafe stop we will be complying with the Covid 19 rules by maintaining a 2mtr distancing and will not be exceeding the maximum number of 6 riders in a group to comply with British Cycling guidelines. Make sure you have a Face-covering in your pocket and that should be worn to respect the cafe personnel.
If you want to ride, please hit the "I'm attending" button to help us manage numbers for ride leaders and the cafe stop.
Niall. Just looked at the map for tomorrow. I see you are going to the Aynho junction. There is a quieter road into Croughton if you take the turn just before the 17 mile marker. Just a thought
Sorry going to wimp out. Still a hard frost here. Pity because it looks like a lovely day - I'll probably go out later.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
