Moderate Saturday Ride.

Leader: Glen Savegar	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Regular Saturday afternoon ride of 60-70km with tea stop. Planned route outline,(with some scope for flexibility..) OUT-Old Mill Hall-Charney Bassett-Gainfield-Buckland-Bampton-Clanfield-Lechlade,Black Cat Tearooms. RETURN-Coleshill-Great Coxwell-Little Coxwell-Fernham-Baulking-Goosey-Denchworth-Old Mill Hall.
Riders: Chris Walters Glen Savegar Maurice Bawden Riders = 3 Report: The forecast was for wind from the South. It didn't disappoint! The three stooges set off from Grove and wandered across the flatlands to Lechlade, whereupon the Black Cat Cafe was patronised by the three intrepid adventurers... a little bit like Last of The Summer Wine, but without Nora Batty! The journey back was less windy than we feared, but that didn't stop a couple of deer jumping out in front of the group between Coleshill and Coxwell, a heart-stopping (fortunately not bike-stopping!) moment. Our route can be seen here: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/1007986. Thanks for the ride Glenn, very enjoyable!
