3* Half Day Ride	3*

Leader: Jo Little	Start Time: 9:00 am	Start Location: The Beacon car park
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). We'll head out for Littleworth and Radcot before looping back round to the cafe stop at Coleshill (25 miles), then return to Wantage via Shrivenham and Fawler Hill.
Riders: Barry Stanton Jo Little Louise Bowers Roger Postbeschild Riders = 4 Weather: Report: We had a dry and mostly sunny day for the ride but the headwind stayed with us for three quarters of a circular route, turning this into a much tougher ride than planned. Coleshill cafe was as good as ever and the route back was a bit easier when we had a tailwind. Thanks to Barry for more climbing tips, to Roger who led whenever the headwind was very tough and to everyone for being a good group to cycle with.
Distance: 67.59 km (42.00 mi)
