1* Saturday Half Day Ride	1*

Leader: Steve Boreham	Start Time: 10:30 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: Note the Morning start time A venture northwards this time.... Denchworth, Charney Bassett, over to Pusey (sneaky cut through if conditions permit), and on up to Hinton Waldrist/Longworth, with cafe stop at "Munch" in Southmoor/KB, then back via Lyford (and past Fyfield Wick if time). Just over 20 miles. Back at Grove, c 2pm (ish). Monthly 16-32km (10-20 miles) family and social rides, usually with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 12-16km/h (8-10mph). Occasional short or gentle climbs.
Riders: Anke Otto Lucy Phillips Nick Portsmouth Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Riders = 5 Weather: Report: A pleasure to be out. Nice select group of five of us to enjoy the weather as it (gradually!) gets warmer. A warm welcome to Lucy on her first ride! Smooth running - the option of the cut through Pusey was discussed, and quickly eschewed as too risky of being muddy, so continued round the road route. Plenty of time to stop at various points to chill. After our stop by the church in Hinton Waldrist, slight mishap/collision between Steve B and Anke. Anke ended up off her bike, but all OK - just the brief task of bending Steve B's mud guard back into place! Then continued on the path linking HW with Longworth. this turned out to be a bit more muddy than we had ever seen it before, So a bit of walking required, and no doubt some cleaning of bikes later on...(!) Nice relaxed stop for refreshments at "Munch" in Southmoor or Kingston Bagpuize... debate was had as to which it is actually in.... then nice relaxed return via Fyfield Wick and Lyford.. Thanks everyone for a lovely ride!
Distance: 33.80 km (21.00 mi)
