| Saturday afternoon ride from Grove | 3* |
|---|
Leader:David Bridge |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Using John's route we couldn't do last time due to the weatherA hilly, winter warmer of a ride. From Grove to Wantage, up Chain Hill and then left on the rollercoaster road to Ilsley. Then south through Beedon to Chievely. Then over the "Winterbourne Alp" to Boxford. Then back up to Brightwalton. Then across near Fawley and back to Wantage via the big descent of Court Hill and Letcombe Regis. Possible tea stop at Sainsburys at the end, depending on timing and weather. 2,000ft of climbing in around 38 miles makes this a good test. |
||
Report:The Shefford contingent of Chris and Adrian set out to meet the rest of the riders near Farnborough, but the ride leader had to bail at the top of Chain Hill for a) not maintaining his bike well over the winter and b) not maintaining himself well over the winter. Get well soon David (and bike!).The smaller group headed off along the planned route through the Ilsleys and Stanmore, deviating on a slightly longer detour on billiard-table-smooth lanes through Hermitage and Curridge, and then again via Chaddleworth after having braved the Boxford Alps. We did very well on what was actually quite a hard little ride... but where was everyone else? | ||

Lovely tea stop, sat outside in the welcome sun at the Eynsham Emporium. Return was a little less familiar, and a missed turning (and swift U turn) near to Bablock Hythe, was greeted by calls of "Come on Glen! Get your act together" A very nice afternoon on the bike. Thanks everyone !Glen S | ||

| Turbo session - social evening |
|---|
Leader:Ginny Henderson |
Start Time:7:00 pm |
Start Location:The Fox, Denchworth |
Description:"End of term" party for the turbo session regulars. |

Riders:Amanda SeddonAndrew Robertson Des Higgs Ginny Henderson Jon Seddon Maurice Bawden Neil Warner Tessa Darley Tony Smith Riders = 9 Report:The Turbo Group went out for its end of season meal on Tuesday 29 March at the Fox at Denchworth. We had a great time and I was given a fab "thank you" pressie. Thank you all so much.The group has fared well this winter despite terrible weather, new site teething problems and various hiccups. The support from members has been excellent. We always need new "blood" so it would be great to have some new people joining next year. Any ability/fitness can enjoy these sessions as we all can go at our own effort level and stop when we have had enough. There is always someone having an "easy" as well as someone who wants a "face off". So feel confident and join us - we will be nice! We have a spin off planned for next season to establish once and for all whether Tony or Andy can produce the fastest cadence - I'm sure they will relish more competition! However I think we will all enjoy getting outside again. Happy pedalling. Ginny | ||
