Saturday afternoon ride from Grove	3*

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Monthly 60-70km (38-45 miles) afternoon ride, with a tea stop, riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). Likely to visit distant destinations. Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing likely. 70 km ride today, pretty flat so we'll keep a good pace. Out via Fyfield, Cumnor, Eynsham and Bampton to take afternoon tea at Aston Pottery after 2 hours of riding. Back via the Great Brook and Charney Bassett.
Riders: Chris Walters David Yearley Hugo Pile Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Katherine Boyce Nick Stokell Phil Ward Richard Preece Richard Saunders Simon Payne Riders = 11 Weather: Report: With the weather being so poor all morning, I'm surprised anyone turned up, but right on cue, the rain stopped and the skies brightened at 13:00. Welcome back to Nick, riding with us after a break, and welcome to Phil on his first ride. The only incident on the ride was a puncture after Hanney courtesy of yours truly. We were soon on our way again, with nothing more to report other than a glorious autumn afternoon's ride punctuated by excellent cakes at Aston Pottery.
