Daytime 2* Thursday Ride on a Saturday 2*
Leader:
Roger Postbeschild
Start Time:
10:00 am
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Sociable rides from 24km-40 km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 16-19km (10-12 miles) per hour. Please check website on the morning of the ride (particularly if you have forgotten to book) if the weather is poor as the ride may be cancelled. Moved from Thursday to Saturday morning as the forecast is considerably less chilly. A well trodden route to Munch at Southmoor.
You could even be back in time for the one star ride in the afternoon!

Report:
The route was amended from the published one as a recce of the Denchworth Road at 9.15 revealed a mixture of melting and still frozen slush.
I also broke one of my cardinal rules in that we went out with the chilly southerly wind!
So, out via the A338 it was.
We did see the odd icy patch at the road edge but, in general, the chosen roads were clear.
Coffee was taken at Munch (a first for Roger T) and it was good to meet up with Karl.
Turning back south on the A338 from Hanney, I was grateful to John for taking the lead, and to Des for taking over with his e-bike. The wind was quite stiff. Yours truly did have to work quite hard to keep up with the pace though!
Three of us took further coffee at Costa on return to Grove.
Not the longest ride, but something of an innovation to have a Thursday ride on a Saturday and club rides of late have been in short supply.
Distance:
31.00 km (19.26 mi)
