Saturday afternoon ride from Grove	2*

Leader: David Bridge	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: 55km (40 miles) afternoon ride, with a tea stop, at a riding pace of ~18km/h (11-13mph). No major hills. Lights required to get back to Grove from the tea stop at Ardington. Grove, Charney Bassett, Longworth, Appleton, Besselsleigh, Cothill, Shippon, Abingdon, Drayton, Steventon Hill, West Hendred, Ginge, Ardington (cafe), Grove.
Riders: Adrian West Barry Gills Brian Hipwell Chris Walters David Bridge David Smith Louis Hall Richard Anstis Stephen Quartermain Steve Boreham Steve Joyce Steve Swanton Ursula Hallam Riders = 13 Report: We left Grove soon after 1pm with 13 riders. Weather was windy which made some stretches of the ride much harder than others. The route we followed was almost exactly as planned except that we had to use the cafe at Key gardens (at the top of Steventon Hill) as we did not expect to get to Ardington in time. Arrived back just as it got dark.
