Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Sociable ride of 24-40 km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 18-20km/h (11-13 mph).Ah, the old quandary of 'where have we not been for a while'. Aston Pottery comes to mind.............. Slightly longer than usual at 51km but Buckland Hill is the only significant 'up'. PLEASE SIGN UP BY 9.00 THURSDAY |

Riders:Angie FisherChris Marchant Geoff Neill Louise Bowers Paul Wensley Pauline Clark Richard Kidd Roger Postbeschild Riders = 8 Weather: Report:Your ride leader duly ordered good weather - unbroken blue skies until we recrossed the A420 at Buckland. Light winds after yesterday's gales were most welcome.Fuelled by generous cakes (and cheese scone) from Aston Pottery, it was a great pleasure to be able to ride down Great Brook - the waters were well receded. Buckland Hill was dispatched in good order by all. I do try to keep the average speed appropriate to the riders in the group. I judged them to be a capable bunch, therefore the ride was completed at an average speed of 20.9kph, quite comfortably. Thanks to Richard, for leading a second group on short stretches of the A415. Interestingly, this ride briefly puts me top of the current leader board....sadly this will not last, as I will be taking some time away! | ||
