New Year's Day 2* Ride 2*
Leader:
Roger Postbeschild
Start Time:
10:00 am
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Sociable ride of 24-40 km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 18-20km/h (11-13 mph).
A chance to clear those hangovers and get the year off to an active start..............
Aston Pottery - one of the few venues that are open on New Years Day! Route avoids Great Brook as I expect that it will still be flooded.
Riders:
Des Higgs
James Bosley
Louise Bowers
Roger Postbeschild
Terry Ryland
Riders = 5

Weather:
sunny intervalswindy (fine)cold
Report:
A chilly wind with some milky sunshine. No snow yet!
One icy patch coming out of Denchworth (the permanently wet bit) but otherwise the roads were OK.
Aston Pottery was good, as ever, even down to supplying delicious cake that was gluten and dairy free!
We were joined on the return leg by Terry, who had just completed his ascent of Dragon Hill as a belated Mince Pie Ride.
No mechanicals and a great group.
Distance:
53.80 km (33.43 mi)
