| 2* Saturday Half Day Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
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 gentle ride around the north Vale, including some unusual (and safe) crossings of the A420 and a tour of the rarely seen beautiful village centres of Longworth and Hinton Waldrist. Coffee stop options are restricted by limited opening, but I hope that an ice cream stop at the shop in Stanford in the Vale will do the job! 29 miles / 46km and reassuringly lacking in hills. Please let me know if you plan to join the ride. |

Riders:Andy PixtonBarry Stanton Carin Tranter David Jackson Des Higgs Gerry Jones John Tranter Karl Blake Peter Hallowell Roger Turnbull Sarah Bowen Sarah Lewis Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Susie Turnbull Riders = 15 Weather:  Report:Wow, what a great turnout! So much so, that I had a few maths problems at the start until I'd realised I was miscounting the Rogers...Thanks to Steph for leading a second group. It was a smooth run to Appleton, with the added bonus of an unexpected bluebell wood near the A420/A338 junction. The lovely villages of Longworth and Hinton Waldrist never disappoint for views and photo opportunities. For various logistical reasons, the two groups took slightly different routes to Standford in the Vale, but we regrouped there and raided the Co-op for supplies. We then had the added bonus of finding Sarah L riding past - she joined us for the ride home, thus neatly replacing Sarah B who had headed for home earlier! Thanks to all for great company on a great ride. | ||
