Rescheduled 3* Regular Sunday 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. Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. A trip to the north of Witney, skirting the edge of the Cotswolds. The first cafe stop is at the Long Hanborough coffee shop (24 miles) and the second at Aston Pottery at 46 miles, where we get a chance to admire their stunning summer borders. The route is on hopefully quiet roads and isn't very hilly.
Riders: Barry Stanton Eddie Little Jo Little Riders = 3 Weather: Report: The day started off quite chilly but the sun came out by lunchtime, which made a pleasant change. We all enjoyed the route, which took us along some quiet and unfamiliar lanes. The views over the Cotswolds were as scenic as always and both cafe stops were welcome, with the borders at Aston pottery putting on a great show. Although the route wasn't that hilly, the concentration of it in the middle section and a strong headwind on the way home made this ride feel harder than expected. Thanks to Ed and Barry for their company and we all agreed we'd like to ride this route again in the Spring.
