| 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.Had planned this one earlier but coffee stop was closed for Easter! A climb out up Hackpen Hill, back via Seven Barrows. Pretty much pan flat after coming down back into The Vale and a coffee stop at The Huddle in Stanford. |

Riders:David TalboysDes Higgs Diana Whidborne John Groves John Tranter Julie Haynes Karl Blake Mila Yearley Roger Postbeschild Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Riders = 11 Report:Apologies for the delayed report, caused by my dashing off after coffee to catch a train to Falmouth!A lovely day for a ride with one or two members conquering Hackpen Hill for the first time. A leisurely gentle climb back up the Seven Barrows road followed by a descent of Blowingstone Hill which saw JT rocket off past me, being suitably circumspect. A few of the riders had not previously tried the delights of The Huddle cafe in Stanford-in-the-Vale, just don't try using it during school holidays...... Thanks to Des and Karl for sweeping duties and again big thanks to Des for taking the lead shortly after coffee to enable me to scoot off and catch that train! | ||
