We haven't tweeted for a while! We are still a very active Oxford cycling club, but we're using Strava and Facebook instead of Twitter.

100 miles with @VCJericho. 10k shy of 200km, but too knackered to do the extra. https://t.co/8Qmu9kXkNF

40th anniversary of the march to Greenham Common: we’ll be riding the route that the women marched, 2-3rd Sept.
Long-story-short: it was the biggest female-led activist movement since women’s suffrage within living memory (yet most <40 haven’t heard about it!) Ride with CRC!!

Sunday is sunny, 11-19 C, 8 mph wind from the NEE. So with apologies to Henry Howard:

Set me whereas the sun doth parch the green
Or where his beams dissolve away malaise;
In temperate heat where he is felt and seen;
With proud people, the best of VCJ's!

Ride safe!

It's better weather for ducks than cyclists, but the forecast has been overly pessimistic recently, so fingers crossed!
