Starting from Lyall & Co. café Market Square, Eynsham, OX29 4HA at 10:00 for 10:30 start. 24 miles, Average .
Saturday 16th November: a 24-mile ride led by Guy & Liz Matthews, starting in the Market Square, Eynsham, OX29 4HA, at 10:30. Lyall & Co. café is across the road from the square and opens at 10:00. We will meander through the picturesque lanes west of Witney to lunch at the recently refurbished White Horse pub in Stonesfield (https://www.thewhitehorsestonesfield.com/). Tables are booked from 12:30. We aim to get back to Eynsham before 3:30, where there will be the option for tea, coffee and cake at The Cherry Tree café in Mill St.
 
Directions: Eynsham is 5 miles west of Oxford. Approaching from the south, leave the A34 Oxford Ring Road at the Botley Interchange and take the first exit along the A420 (SP Swindon). Then take the first exit, SP B4044 Eynsham, and continue through Farmoor to Eynsham. Have 5p ready in case you're charged at the toll bridge. (NB This route is probably quicker than continuing along the A34 to the Pear Tree interchange, and then going via the A44 and A40.)
 
Parking: Use the free car park in Back Lane. Continue along the High Street, which becomes Acre End St. At its end, turn right at the mini-roundabout into Witney Road, then first right into Clover Place. The car park is at the end of Clover Place. There is a cut-through to the High Street along Wastie Lane (off Clover Place), but we haven't tried it ourselves.
 
Lunch: Please choose from the attached menu and email Liz with your choices by Sunday 10th November
 
Looking forward to seeing you!
