3* Saturday Half Day Ride	3*

Leader: Jo Little	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Half day ride (60-70km / 38-45 miles), with a tea stop, riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). A trip out to Blakes at Clanfield, via Coleshill and returning up Buckland hill. Hopefully, the weather will be kind to us if we have to sit outside.
Riders: Barry Stanton Chris Bailey Chris Gray Jo Little Katherine Boyce Sharon Bedford Riders = 6 Weather: Report: We were lucky that the rain held off for most of the ride, with the worst being when we were at Blakes. However, the wind was stronger than expected, which made for tough riding conditions into the headwind. We therefore decided to cut the ride short. Blakes' cinnamon buns were as delicious as ever and helped with the return journey. Despite the conditions everyone enjoyed the ride. Thanks to everyone for being a great group to ride with, for helping me with the navigation when we changed the route and for taking turns at the front. A great team effort.
