3* Brunch Ride	3*

Leader: Sharon Bedford	Start Time: 7:00 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Moved forward by a week by request so as not to clash with century ride Back by popular demand from 2022 (rained off in 2023 so hoping for better luck this year). We will meet early at 7am at OMH to enjoy some (hopefully) lighter traffic. We will then stop for brunch at https://www.bearandraggedstaff.com/menu/ before riding back to Grove. Please let me know whether you are coming by 5pm on Thursday 25th so I can book a table.
Riders: Chris Bailey Jenny Gower Jo Little Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Sharon Bedford Terry Penn Riders = 7 Report: Being welcomed by a glorious sunny and warm morning made the early start easier. Starting out at 7 meant quieter roads and an excellent brunch stop. The Bear & Ragged Staff provided efficient service and great food. Great Andy could also join us for brunch. Once fuelled we made quick work of the cycle back to Grove. A total ride of 77k and home before noon to enjoy the rest of the day! We agreed it was certainly worth considering a repeat of the ride some other time.
Distance: 77.00 km (47.85 mi)
