Was out today on a leisure ride and noticed loads of people pootling along, was great for scalping but didnt really count lol

I was very tempted to follow the sign to drinks and food and try and blag some stuff.

It was around earlswood and there was loads of people at a pub on the way to henley, anyone any idea what it was?

also saw two cars badly smashed up, looked like a car had tried to overtake a cyclist and misjudged it and hit the oncoming car, but think cyclists were unhurt but not sure

    It was the Birmingham to Oxford ride in aid of Jennifer Trust. Seventy Five miles of hills.

    I did it almost 20 years ago and I'm guessing it was on this

    .... although when I completed it, the bike probably didn't look as good as this, as it was 11 years old by this time.
