Half day ride (55k / 35 miles), with a picnic / refresment stop at Farmmor reservoir (cafe there is open for takeaway, although I will probably bring my own refreshments) at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph).(If the weather is looking horrible, I might change the route for eg a 25 mile option and skip the picnic stop) |

Report:How exciting - an afternoon club ride after such a long time - and such a great take up! The weather led to a few very understandable drop outs (great they called it so early and let us know) but four of us were the first group out. By the time we reached the A415 to decide whether or not we were going to do the longer or shorter of Jan's routes, the rain had eased a bit, the nagging headwind has abated somewhat and the grey skys towards our destination had lessened. So we decided to do the longer ride, without a coffee stop.On the one hand you could say we did the wrong thing having finished the ride very cold and wet an hour later than if we'd done the shorter route..... however we were all glad that we had done the ride, although the drop in temperature and increase in the rain during the last 10km or so, we could have done without! Great group to be out with, not a single moan or groan (except from me going up the hill to Cumnor!) and plenty of cheerful chat. Great way to spend a miserable Saturday afternoon  Thanks Jan for all your organising. | ||
