| 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.A nice easy ride as I have other stuff planned for later in the day! A trip north with a coffee stop at the excellent Bampton Garden Plants. The only hill of note is on the return trip up to Buckland. Expect to be back at Grove by 13.00. |

Riders:David JacksonDavid Lynch Des Higgs John Groves John Tranter LeeAnn Norris Mike Bailey Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Susie Turnbull Riders = 10 Weather:  Report:A select band of 10 riders with Des as self appointed sweep, thanks again, Des.The ride was largely uneventful, apart from one particularly bad example of close passing followed by extreme indecision just north of Radcot bridge. Coffee and cake were taken at Bampton Garden Plants, to fortify ourselves for the ascent of Buckland hill. A very sociable and capable group, who took the post coffee section at a sneaky three star pace quite comfortably, returning to Old Mill Hall at around 12.45. | ||
