2* Saturday Half Day Ride | 2* | ![]() |
---|
Contact:John Tranter - 07836 238350 |
Start Time:9:00 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Half day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph).This is a modified version of a classic ride on some rarely used little roads down in the Thames Valley. Out via Denchworth and Fyfield, we then enjoy the dramatic drop into the Thames flood plain. Over the river to Standlake, along to Shifford with its tiny church and then Aston Pottery. Pot buying is optional, but the cafe is great. Suitably fortified, we will take some time to explore the rarely travelled tiny lanes down to the Thames at the mysterious hamlet of Chimney (tantalisingly close to the other side of Duxford ford), before conquering the modest challenge of Buckland Hill and (after exploring the back streets of Buckland village) heading for home via Charney Bassett. 33 miles and about four hours in total, so note the slightly earlier start time. |
