Saturday afternoon ride 2*	2*

Leader: Edith Hipwell	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Our newly titled 2* ride, covering 45-55km including a tea stop. Covering a fair amount of distance, the pace will be more relaxed with plenty of time for chatting on the way.
Riders: Brian Hipwell Chris Walters David Bridge Edith Hipwell Michael Catherall Neil Mowforth Nigel Stuckey Steve Boreham Steve Joyce Susan Holdroyd Riders = 10 Report: 10 cyclists set out for a sunny Saturday afternoon ride to Aston Pottery. We made good time with the wind behind us and decided to do an extra loop around Standlake village. We enjoyed our tea and cakes at the pottery. On the return ride, one of our cyclists got a punture in his back wheel, which delayed us for about 20 minute. There were a few spots of rain which made us head off very quickly up the hill to Buckland keeping the rain behind us we headed for home completing 34 miles approx. The ride was enjoyed by all with no mishaps. Ride route here: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/11718286
