| Saturday Half Day Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Karen Townsin |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Half day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Might be a struggle for new or irregular riders in winter months.A trip West today to visit the excellent Bloomfields Deli and Cafe in Shrivenham. We'll head out through Goosey and Uffington and back through Fernham, Stanford-in-the-Vale and Denchworth. This is a relatively long ride for the time of year 47.6km/29.5miles, but pretty flat, so I'll aim to keep the pace to the upper end of the 2* range. We should make it back before sunset, but it will be tight, so please make sure that you bring lights to be seen by. |

It was great to have so many of you out supporting the ride in such conditions. I'd not imagined needing the new rider documentation either, so welcome James and chapeau to you.In the face of weather conditions, larger numbers than expected and an early puncture - thanks Roger for your help and amazing thumb strength - I decided to forgo the Shrivenham stop and try Farmer Gow's cafe, which was warm and welcoming and whilst the cakes weren't quite up to the Deli standard, the muffins were surprisingly good. Thanks to everyone for your company and flexibility and to Jon for back marking. | ||
