On bank holiday Saturday, while staying at my sister-in-law's in rural Oxfordshire, my bro-in-law, my 7-year-old son and I went for a bike ride, from Stanton Harcourt to Witney - a 10-mile return trip.
It was a sedate affair - my bro-in-law doesn't do rushed cycling, there's no pretension of performance, and once I got to Witney I realised that's very much the ethos in Oxfordshire - not only in the city among university students, but in the country among the 'common' folk. Cycling is for everyone, and in their own terms - just a way to get from A to B.
For Luke, his biggest bike ride to date, and something to build on. I was a bit miffed we didn't even break sweat.

Cycling in Greater Manchester can be very rewarding - and challenging at the same time. I have been doing it regularly for five years and have never regretted it. This blog is a collection of impressions - if you find anything of any practical use, that's great too.
