3* Sunday Half Day Ride 3*
Leader:
Sharon Bedford
Start Time:
9:30 am
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. A Half Day Ride (50-60km / 31-38 miles), riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing likely.

As we had to shorten some of the rides earlier in the month due to the weather / road conditions, I have planed a half day ride with a cafe stop instead of a Sunday Shortie. Following good reports from a recent 2* ride we will try out the new Blakes at Coleshill. Relatively tried and tested route of 55k with the rest approx. half way round.
Please note Old Mill Hall start.
Riders:
Andy Pixton
Barry Stanton

Report:
What a difference the sunshine makes!!! Superb to be out without multiple layers of clothing, (in fact certain members of the group were shedding them as the ride progressed).

Roads still a bit wet in places but generally improving, (well apart from the pot holes that seem to have multiplied even more over the last few months).

The route unintentionally (honestly) was an exact copy of Roger's 2* earlier in the month - but unlike that ride we luckily survived without technical issues or unplanned solo diversions and all made it back to Grove with smiles on our faces.

Both Cinnamon Buns and Sausage Rolls at Blakes Coleshill got a big thumbs up, although as it was busy we had to sit outside (thank goodness it was sunny) and the orders were a bit muddled / delayed. The waitress was very good about it though and it wouldn't put me off going there again.

Thanks for the company everyone
