Daytime 2* Thursday Ride	2*

Leader: Roger Postbeschild	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: Sociable rides of 24km - 40km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 18km - 20km (11-13 miles) per hour, usually with a café stop. During school holidays there will be shorter family rides of 16km - 24km (10-15 miles) at a slower pace. Please check website on the morning of the ride if the weather is poor as the ride may be cancelled or the start time changed. We will ride to Appleton Community Shop for coffee and snacks, forecast is good so sitting outside should be fine. Bluebells in Tubney Wood will be an additional attraction! On the longer side for a Thursday ride at 40.8km but pan flat.
Riders: Des Higgs Diana Whidborne Ernie Trimble John Groves Karl Blake Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Terry Ryland Riders = 8 Weather: Report: Lovely weather, great company and a new picnic bench outside the Appleton Community Shop (courtesy of the Parish Council for services to the community during the Covid pandemic). What's not to like! The promised bluebells duly put up an appearance in Bagley Woods and Ernie and Di were rejoicing in their extended range courtesy of electric conversions by Karl. A diversion via Hanney on the way back rather than Charney to avoid some tar and chipping resurfacing.
Distance: 39.00 km (24.23 mi)
