Saturday afternoon ride from Grove	2*

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: A change of plan - we'll be heading to the Thowing Buns cafe in Abingdon instead of Aston Pottery. The main ride will be at the shorter end of 2* to cater for those who haven't ridden regularly over winter (this would also suit those who regularly ride 1* Saturday rides and would like to try an easier 2*) but there will also be a longer optional loop for those who would like to go a little bit further. Out via Charney Bassett, Fyfield, Tubney and Cothill with a direct route to tea via Shippon; the longer loop will be via Sunningwell, Radley, Thrupp Lane and NCN route 5 passing Radley Lakes. We'll return via Peep-o-Day lane, Drayton, Steventon and East Hanney. Distances of 25 or 30 miles. Monthly 45-55km (30-40 miles) afternoon ride, with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Might be a struggle for new or irregular riders in winter months.
