3* Saturday Half Day Ride	3*

Leader: Jo Little	Start Time: 9:00 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Half day ride (60-70km / 38-45 miles), with a tea stop, riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). A familiar route through small country lanes, with Aston pottery as the cafe stop at 25 miles. Hoping for some great autumnal views as we go.
Riders: Barry Stanton Jo Little John Tranter Nick Dunton Paul Smith Yvonne Bird Riders = 6 Weather: Report: It started off cloudy and with a surprisingly strong headwind but after a while we turned a corner, the sun came out and it turned into a lovely day for a ride. The roads were mostly quiet and nearly every driver we met was considerate - with one notable exception. Aston pottery looked great with all the flowers and it was warm enough to eat out. A great ride and thanks to everyone for their company.
Distance: 61.16 km (38.00 mi)
