Saturday afternoon ride from Grove	2*

Leader: David Bridge	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: 45-55km (30 - 40 miles) afternoon ride, with a tea stop, at a riding pace of ~18km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Grove Steventon Appleford Round Didcot to North Moreton Aston Tirrold Hagbourne Chilton (Tea at Garden Centre) Pathway back to Ginge -- faster riders may wish to avoid this by using the A417 to West Hendred Lockinge Lains Barn road Grove We should get back by 16:30 -> 17:00 so lights will be required. We could shortcut through Didcot if we run short of time and may use the cycle pathways to do so.
Riders: Chris Walters David Bridge David Talboys John Davies John Talbot Mark Austin Maurice Bawden Michael Tayler Robin Tucker Stephen Quartermain Steve Boreham Riders = 11 Weather: Report: We started off from Grove 9 in number and met up with a couple more at Steventon. After a pleasant cycle to the north of Didcot we arrived at North Moreton where we lost Robin & Steve B to a puncture. We carried on, worked our way round to Hagbourne where Steve Q & Michael left for home. Chris left soon afterwards and Maurice left us at the garden centre. Then we were 5. However Robin & Steve rejoined us there and Adrian West met us by car as he had had a problem with his bike. After the tea stop it was getting dark. We avoided the path to East Hendred by using the A417 to W Hendred and made our way back to Grove via Lains Barn.

Loving the music to the vids - very motivational - how about launching a CTC Wantage turbo training DVD for the Thursday night sessions? :)
