2* Saturday Half Day Ride 2*
Leader:
Roger Postbeschild
Start Time:
9:30 am
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.
Change of route as my intended coffee stop is closed for the Easter break with no viable alternative!
Now a relatively flat ride (probably better for early in the season), with a coffee stop at Aston Pottery. They most certainly will be open!
Riders:
David Talboys
John Groves
Karen Townsin
Karl Blake
Nick Portsmouth
Olivia Pile
Roger Postbeschild
Ron Cutler
Riders = 8

Weather:
hazy sunclear sky (night)
Report:
Spring has sprung!
A surprisingly select group of 8 riders enjoyed glorious sunshine and light winds with relatively quiet roads. We kept up a good pace for two star, my excuse being the lack of hills!
A good coffee stop at Aston Pottery - I recommend the eccles cakes!! Rumours of Great Brook being flooded were untrue and the climb up to Buckland was negotiated by all.
Many thanks to all and particularly to Nick P for sweeping.
Distance:
52.10 km (32.37 mi)
