Ah, the old quandary of 'where have we not been for a while'.
Aston Pottery comes to mind..............
Slightly longer than usual at 51km but Buckland Hill is the only significant 'up'.

Weather:
sunny
Report:
Your ride leader duly ordered good weather - unbroken blue skies until we recrossed the A420 at Buckland. Light winds after yesterday's gales were most welcome.
Fuelled by generous cakes (and cheese scone) from Aston Pottery, it was a great pleasure to be able to ride down Great Brook - the waters were well receded.
Buckland Hill was dispatched in good order by all.
I do try to keep the average speed appropriate to the riders in the group. I judged them to be a capable bunch, therefore the ride was completed at an average speed of 20.9kph, quite comfortably.
Thanks to Richard, for leading a second group on short stretches of the A415.
Interestingly, this ride briefly puts me top of the current leader board....sadly this will not last, as I will be taking some time away!
