2* Saturday Half Day Ride A	2*

Leader: Karen Townsin	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: This is a pre-bookable ride only. To book your place please text the ride leader no sooner than the Monday before the ride. Half day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), 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. A ride out to Aston Pottery with a tea stop in the garden. For those who would rather not visit the cafe, there is a small green with a bench in the centre of the village. Please note that there are 2 short sections of bridleway/byway: one from Southmoor to cross the A420 via the bridge, the other to bypass some of the A415 around Standlake. More details to follow as rules become clearer.
Riders: Jane John John Tranter Karen Townsin LeeAnn Norris Roger Postbeschild Yvonne Bird Riders = 6 Weather: Report: What a great afternoon's riding. It was so good to be out again, congregating at OMH - 3 groups socially distanced of course- managing a cafe stop at Aston Pottery, and again seeing the other groups, and finally back at OMH after the ride. The small group gave everyone the chance to have a really good chinwag, and the cafe stop was surprisingly quiet, but still with plenty of cake left. We all agreed on how important the social side of our club is, and that felt particularly so today. So thanks you everyone, especially those who led or offered to lead. It was a real pleasure.
