Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders.We're not going too far today as I wanted to guarantee an indoor cafe stop. This is at Aston pottery at 31.5 miles. The total ride is 53 miles and not much climbing, so should be bearable on a cold, winter's day. |

Riders:Barry StantonEddie Little Jo Little Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Roger Postbeschild Sharon Bedford Riders = 7 Weather:  Report:I think everyone, including me, was wishing I had cancelled the ride to start with as it was cold and very misty . However, we soon all started to be glad we were out riding and, despite the weather conditions and lack of views, enjoyed the ride. Aston pottery was a welcome stop and we decided to cut the ride a bit short and return by the more direct route.Thank you to everyone for their good company and it was great to welcome back Joy on her first 3* ride since her accident in June. | ||
