Just did my little evening ride again, won't be able to before long as the evenings are already drawing in
After the short run to Burford, crossing the A40, I then turn right for Chipping Norton on the A361 - fast, winding and open.
Just as I reach C/N, I turn right onto the B4026 and this is where the real fun begins. What a brilliant little road! Tight, twisty, up and down, with a few short fast stretches, it's got the lot! The gravel has really settled down and cleared up now, and the surface is once again grippy, and much smoother now.
Stig, if you're reading this, it knocks the B4030 into a cocked hat! (I sneaked a look at that one earlier today).
First time I explored this route, it took just about an hour - now down to 40 mins, but still using due care where necessary of course.
That's me happy for the day
