I'm glad you made the right decision, Chris. Mine was probably over cautious, but I chose the option of riding solo today instead and staying a bit warmer.
As to Wednesday, the same situation may arise as it is forecast to be only 2 degrees at 8am after a cold clear night, which spells ground frost, so I may go out solo on Thursday instead. Come to think of it, it might be an occasion to use your Steeple Aston route as the (light) breeze is coming from that quarter.

@chriswilkes your policy is very sensible, in fact I've been doing the same. But I was very surprised to see your note on Sunday morning as here in Akeley there really was no sign of frost at all. So, being the B ride leader I had to make a decision quickly and wanted to double check the facts. Stuart confirmed that there was some frost in Tingewick but I took the view that it would probably dissappear quite quickly and it would be safe to ride. So, I took the decision to go and fortunately it turned out fine. Anyway it's a shame you missed the ride as you'd have enjoyed it. I'll have to do the ride again sometime so you can come along. See you Wednesday?
