2* Saturday Half Day Ride 2*
Leader:
Roger Postbeschild
Start Time:
9:30 am
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Half day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), with a tea/coffee stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph).

Foot is responding to treatment and Steve S will lead if I don't make it.
With apologies to last Sunday's 3 star riders, a more leisurely ride out to Aston Pottery for coffee and cakes. Out via Northmoor and Shifford, back via Bampton and Buckland Hill, which is the only climb of the day.

UPDATE Friday evening. I reckon that the foot should be fine, so I'm afraid that you will have to put up with me....
Riders:
Anke Otto

sunny intervals
Report:
Well, the foot was OK!
A very welcome window in some very dodgy weather made for a nice leisurely ride out to Aston Pottery. Buckland hill was the only hill of the day, taken at varying speeds, with James just leaving it too late for an analogue attack on Anke's serene digital progress up.......
Good to see some faces that have been less familiar of late, Brian (now a member). David and John.
Thanks to Des for sweeping and to all for being a great group.
Distance:
53.00 km (32.93 mi)
