Daytime 1* Thursday Ride	1*

Leader: Roger Postbeschild	Start Time: 10:30 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: Social rides up to half day - 32km (20 miles), usually with a cafe stop, at a riding pace of 16-20km/h (10-12mph). Please check website on the morning of the ride if the weather is poor as it may be cancelled or the start time changed. An awayday ride, starting and finishing at Bampton Garden Plants, where there is ample car parking and coffee or lunch (whichever floats your boat) at Aston Pottery. Plenty of options to shorten the ride (21 miles) in case of inclement weather and pretty much flat.
Riders: Carin Tranter Des Higgs Diana Whidborne John Groves Karl Blake Lizzie Long Lorna Swanton Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Terry Penn Riders = 10 Report: This was definitely one for warmer clothing! A chilly start, that didn't warm up a lot. 10 riders gathered at Bampton Garden Plants for the start, 6 riding out from home and 4 making use of the car park. The ride was a series of loops, offering the odd 'deja vue' moment here and there......and introducing roads that were new to some of us. Lunch was taken at Aston Pottery, generous portions as ever. The published ride was 35km, I totalled 71km, some will have done more. A fabulous group to ride with.

Didn't see anyone at Aston but maybe I was too early but I did find the Museum Resource Center in Standlake.
