Leader: Katherine Boyce	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: WMP
Description: PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A WANTAGE MARKET PLACE START NOT OMH Thought we could pop over to Hungerford via Lambourn and a lovely road above Eastbury. After a cuppa at Tuti Pole in Hungerford (if it's not too busy) we'll go over the common to Kintbury before making our way back up to the Downs and the glorious swoop down Chain Hill to Wantage. Monthly 60-70km (38-45 miles) afternoon ride, with a tea stop, riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). Likely to visit distant destinations. Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing likely.
Riders: Andy Pixton Barry Stanton Bryan Charleston Jan McCabe John Tranter Katherine Boyce Louis Hall Nicole Pethybridge Phil Ward Richard Pethybridge Richard Saunders Roger Postbeschild Simon Atkin Yvonne Bird Riders = 14 Weather: Report: I was scratching my head trying to work out where to go for this ride. And then I remembered a ride my sister had taken me on a few months ago. She knew it as Henk's Ride and we managed to piece it together. Henk a former member of the club who died a few years ago was renowned for his rides apparently and this was one that Angela loves. 14 turned up in a busy market place, Andy agreed to sweep (well he mentioned sweeping, that's volunteering isn't it ) And we proceeded to have a very mellow, social ride. The stronger riders were patient with those of us slow up the hills. The countryside was beautiful. The weather windy but not too windy and the right temperature for a bike ride. The Tuti Pole were very organised and we were all sorted quickly, the consensus being that the ice creams were nicer than the cream teas!! Brian knew the route extremely well and saved us from a couple of wrong turnings and an unnecessary hill. He also showed us an historic Cycling Touring Club metal sign on a pretty cottage in the middle of nowhere. As we were paused admiring it, the owners came out and chatted to us. Both former cyclists, they'd bought the sign at auction and it had been on their house for a couple of decades. The lanes to Hungerford from Eastbury, the ride across the Common and the less familiar roads to Brightwalton were all highlights of the ride. Definitely some areas to explore further. Thank you all for being such a great group to lead and for creating a very enjoyable Saturday afternoon.

Leader: John Tranter	Start Time: 2:00 pm	Start Location: Botley shopping centre at the bottom of Cumnor Hil
Description: A very special opportunity to use tracks, riverside and canalside paths and quiet streets to do a 17 mile 'urban safari' around Oxford. This ride really gives a remarkable insight into some hidden corners of this complex city and is almost entirely traffic free. This is an away-day ride, run at a beginner 1* pace. Meet in the car park behind the shops at the bottom of Cumnor Hill. Parking here is free for 3 hours, which will be ample. We use the lovely track from North Hinksey to get to Osney Mead, then up the river, across Port Meadow to the canal, up to Wolvercote and then through the exclusive back streets of leafy Summertown until we get to the Marston Ferry Road. Then there is a fascinating series of hidden tracks and roads through to the Brooks campus (including an unexpected manor house), then a swoop down to Florence Park and a final section of beautiful riverside towpath. Some of the tracks will be rough in places, so this is not the ride for carbon super bikes. Mountain bikes would actually work as well as hybrids for this. Free parking in Botley and the chance of a fine coffee stop at Taylor's to finish with. Really interesting - don't miss it! 17 miles at a leisurely pace - 10 or 11 mph.
Riders: Carin Tranter Christine Ashdown John Tranter Kerry Tucker Nick Portsmouth Robert Treadgold (deceased) Robin Tucker Susan Holdroyd Tony Ashdown Riders = 9 Weather: Report: A good group and a nice ride. All went well, with a good collection of sensible bikes dealing quite adequately with the variety of road and track surfaces on offer. It's really quite amazing how much variety of scenery and cityscape is packed into this ride - lots to see and lots of unexpected moments. Thanks to all for a fun afternoon.

Leader: Karen Townsin	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: WMP
Description: Description: This is the second in this season's series. The purpose of the 3* lite rides is to give confident 2* riders the chance to try out a 3* ride ride at the lower end of the 3* riding pace. There will be opportunities to experience riding at a faster pace on the flat and to attempt some hills. The atmosphere will be supportive and encouraging and there will be the opportunity to stop for a coffee and a natter at the end. All welcome. Today we'll ride a route similar to a 3* Tuesday evening ride that Andy P led a few weeks ago. It's only 40km but there's 490m of climbing, so plenty of opportunities to practise those hills! We will be taking them at a steady pace and stopping at the top. We ascend the Ridgeway via Court Hill, then wend our way through some pretty West Berkshire villages to climb back up the escarpment before the lovely descent of Chain Hill. Then it's into The Bay Tree Cafe for those who'd like to.
Riders: Barry Stanton Claire Davidson Des Higgs Jane John Jo Little John Groves Jon Townsin Joy Arthur Karen Townsin Karl Blake Riders = 10 Weather: Report: There was a slight chill in the air and therefore the usual arms/no arms discussion took place as 10 riders met at the feet of King Alfred A warm welcome to Clare on her first Cycling UK Wantage ride and hats off to her for choosing a nice hilly one to start with. It was the first ascent of Court Hill this season for some of us, but we took it at our own pace and were soon flying down the A338 towards Wooley, when a sudden hiss signalled a puncture. Waiting at the monument gave us a chance to take some pictures and have a natter, while the pit-stop team did a remarkably quick tube change. The tour of West Berkshire continued, including a small deviation in Leckhamstead to take in the Manor House and views over to Hampshire. Then it was on to Hillgreen, Peasmore and another deviation as we decided to take the route back via Brightwalton rather than toil over the lIsleys. 6 of us then retired to The Bay Tree cafe after finishing with the final swoop down Chain Hill, which was as good as ever. Thanks everyone for an enjoyable ride and to Jon for sweeping duties.

Description: ******Tuesday 16:00 ***** UPDATE****** RIDE IS CANCELLED DUE TO THE DANGERS POSED BY THE GUSTING WIND AND ASSOCIATED DEBRIS ************************************************* *** Tuesday 08:15 ***** UPDATE****** The weather tonight is looking foul. High speed and gusty winds with heavy rain. Please check here or on Facebook for a 16:00 update. ***************************************************** Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. This is a bridging ride at the upper level of the range to allow riders to gauge their pace and gain confidence to step up to the next star level. So it's a bridging ride and no ones been up White Horse Hill on a Tuesday so far this season - so let's go . Everyone knows how I do not skip up hills, we'll all go up Dragon Hill at our own pace and have lots of time at the top to admire the view. We'll be going via Challow and the unpaved but okay for road bikes, cycle path to Childrey, round to Sparsholt, Westcot and then the spring line road to Dragon Hill. Our return will be via Uffington, Baulking and Goosey. As this is about the hill and not distance this will be a shorter than normal ride to give us plenty of climbing time.

Leader: Robin Tucker	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: WMP
Description: Off-road ride on the Ridgeway and the Downs. Lots of beautiful scenery, enough climbing and descending to make it interesting but no major technical challenges and we will take this at a moderate pace equivalent to a 2* road ride. Tea and cake stop at Court Hill after most of the ride (or you could make this your lunch) . The route attached is 23 miles, but I will ask on the day and we can choose shorter or longer versions.
Riders: David Brown Mervyn Phipps Phil Ward Ray Wright Richard Anstis Robin Tucker Riders = 6 Weather: Report: We met under King Alfred for this off-road ride around the Downs. Of course, wherever there are Downs (or downs) there will be ups. But that wouldn't stop the 6 of us! So we started out to the Lambourns and then climbing Gramps Hill . I assured everyone that this was the biggest climb of the day, although it was not the only one, or the trickiest. We then headed West on the Ridgeway into a stong headwind which was a big feature of the first half of the ride. We continued to the B4001 at the top of Hackpen Hill and then turned South to Sheepdrove Farm, then on to rougher rutted tracks to Eastbury Grange. Turning East we now gained a bit of tail wind, but had the most technical climb of the day - steep, rutted and stony. After that, we could see an amazingly bright red field, where poppies intermingled with oats. We continued an undulating path to Whatcombe, then turned North and worked our way to Court Hill Hostel for tea and cake. Or in Richard's case: tea, cake, fish fingers/chips/beans, fanta, squash and probably a few things I have forgotten. Refuelled, we went back to enjoy the 'jolly green giant' descent before returning to Wantage.

Leader: Nick Stokell	Start Time: 9:00 am	Start Location: Woolton Hill nr Newbury - see details below
Description: Tough 100 km ride with plenty of hills (1200 m climbing) on mostly quiet lanes with fine views of the Hampshire countryside. The ride is based on the Watership Down Audax route but in the reversed (i.e. anti-clockwise direction), and replacing the straight (& rather busy) A272 towards Winchester with a meander along the Test Valley. There are no cafÃￜ© opportunities much before the proposed lunch stop (at 52 km) - Waitrose Farm Shop CafÃￜ© on the Leckford Estate, so bring some snacks. After a relaxed after-lunch ride along the Test Valley I'm planning a tea stop at Whitchurch or Laverstoke before the assault on Watership Down itself. It would be useful to have some idea of numbers so please let me know if you are coming by 7 June. Meet at The Chase National Trust Car Park (free), off Station Road, Woolton Hill (https://goo.gl/maps/gFpjhUzQUbG2). Directions from the A34: Driving south past Newbury on the A34, leave at the A343 junction signed 'Highclere, Wash Common'. Turn left at the roundabout signed 'Newbury, Wash Common'. Then 2nd left, signed 'Enborne Row, East Woodhay, Ball Hall' and also for The Furze Bush Inn and The Yew Tree Garden Centre. On crossing under the A34, take the first left into Station Road. The car park is a short way down on the left-hand side.
Riders: Andy Pixton David Smith Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Katherine Boyce Louis Hall Nick Stokell Pam Stokell Ursula Hallam Riders = 9 Weather: Report: Four couples on a ride plus token gooseberry Louis. Brownie points to him, David and Ursula for riding to the start, and an acknowledgement to Ursula! – I only realised when I got back just now how much of her 2015 route I had borrowed. After a gentle warm up though Kintbury the arm warmers came off and we set off up Walbury Hill and were rewarded by bright sunshine and expansive views to the North. Our passage South showed the Hampshire escarpments (Hart Hill Down, Little Down, Haydown Hill looked very shapely) off to fine effect and even the climbs seemed easier today, punctuated by swooping descents. The terrain became flatter around Andover before the final pre-lunch push on to Longstock. Arrival at 1145 meant a short queue and quick turnaround. Someone discovered they couldn’t use their Waitrose club card ☹ Flat peaceful stretch after lunch (apart from a homicidal motorist and a wasp sting to Ursula), intermittently encountering the River Test. After a sunny tea stop at the ManyDown Bus Café at Laverstoke we set off up the hill towards Watership Down. Pam twisted her knee (dangerous things SPD SLs!) and eventually decided to wait for a rescue helicopter. She was probably a bit disappointed when I turned up in the car. A good day out – I’m a real fan of the Hampshire countryside.

Great route Nick and loved the cafe stops. Thanks for leading.

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Our leisurely and sociable 10-mile club rides are designed specifically with adult newcomers to cycling and youngsters in mind, or those who just want some relaxed and sociable exercise. We cover a distance of about 10 miles at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph, following quiet country lanes and the occasional easy off-road track. We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way. A flat ride around the Vale this evening heading to West Hanney and Lyford, with the option for an extra loop to Charney Bassett if the sun is shining. As this is Bike Week , its the perfect opportunity to invite out family and friends.
Riders: John Hibberd Phillip Folkes Sheryl Hibberd Steve Swanton Vyvyan Hazell Riders = 5 Weather: Report: A glorious evening for a ride and tonight we welcomed three new riders: Phil, John and Sheryl. We followed the route as planned stopping in West Hanney and outside the church in Lyford. Everyone wanted to make the most of the evening so we continued on to Charney Bassett before returning to Denchworth and Grove. Lovely mellow ride with great conversation. Look forward to seeing you all next week (if not before).

Leader: John Tranter	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. This is a bridging ride at the lower level of the range to encourage riders who feel ready to move up to the next star level. I'm going to be slightly cheeky here and take a route that Nicole led a few weeks ago and reverse it - it's amazing the difference it makes! So, out via Denchworth to Charney Bassett, Pusey and Hinton Waldrist, then along to the handy footbridge to re-cross the A420 and back down the perfect tarmac from Southmoor to West Hanney and home. 19 miles at a good steady 12mph or so, with no hills.
Riders: Carin Tranter David Jackson Gareth Smith John Tranter Lorna Swanton Mila Yearley Naomi Merritt Steve Boreham Val Smith Riders = 9 Weather: Report: What a beautiful evening! A total contrast with the howling gales that cancelled everything only a week ago. A nice group, including some stepping up from 1*. All went smoothly and we had a very nice roll around the northern part of the Vale. Thanks to all for very pleasant company.

Leader: Karen Townsin	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). May be hilly. This is a bridging ride at the lower level of the range to encourage riders who feel ready to move up to the next star level. Tonight the plan is to head out to Farringdon via Fernham. There is a little climbing in the middle of the ride, but otherwise it's pretty flat. We will be crossing and re-crossing the A420 and there's a short section on the A417 on the return journey. A ride of 38km/24 miles at approx. 20-21kph/12.5-13mph should see us back at OMH by 8:30ish.
Riders: Andy Pixton Barry Stanton Des Higgs Jane John Jerry Bird John Groves Joy Arthur Karen Townsin Karl Blake Katherine Boyce Kirsten Smith Robert Treadgold (deceased) Steve Joyce Susie Turnbull Ursula Hallam Yvonne Bird Riders = 16 Weather: Report: What a fabulous evening. A great turnout again, so it was necessary to split the ride. Thanks so much to Kath and Andy for leading and sweeping duties in the second group. A smaller group made the whole evening a more relaxed and chatty affair, and allowed us to make the crossings of the A420 much more safely. Without Des's local knowledge, our group took the more traditional route through Farringdon, but it was great to see a running group out and so many others enjoying the evening. Thanks all for a lovely ride.

Leader: Nick Stokell	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5-2 hours ride at a riding pace of 25-29km/h (16-18mph). May be hilly. This is a bridging ride at the lower level of the range to encourage riders who feel ready to move up to the next star level. Anti-clockwise loop passing through Steventon, Sutton Courtney, Abingdon and Kingston Bagpuize. This is a pretty flat ride and we'll set out at a steady pace of 25 km/h in keeping with the ride's bridging status and try and keep together! It should therefore, mechanicals apart, finish around 2030.
Riders: Adrian West Carrie Kembleton David Smith David Talboys Eddie Little Frank Schroer Harry Kenyon-Slaney Hugh Falkner Jason Jones Jon Townsin Louis Hall Mike Cooke Nick Stokell Paul Jarvis Peter Cowan Phil Ward Richard Anstis Riders = 17 Weather: Report: Record size group I think, appreciating the good weather and flat terrain, so an early decision was taken to split in two - thanks to Phil for leading the other half. Somewhere en route David got separated (I don't think he was in my half but apologies if he was). One surreal moment when we found Adrian in North Abingdon waiting for us despite him starting in the second group behind us! The outward roads were a little busy but after Kingston Bagpuize the quiet lanes were appreciated. Due to operator error on the Garmin there is no record below, but the first group arrived back at Millbrook at 2020 followed a few minutes later by the second. Later - Happy to report this was a genuine Garmin error - file given incorrect date and time, an issue which was resolved when transferring to Strava (see below). Weird that!

Description: The return of the sociable pub rides takes us on a gentle 2* trip out to a local pub, the identity of which will be revealed only on arrival. A drink and a meal will fuel the return journey but don't forget your lights and a lock!
Riders: Carin Tranter David Bridge Des Higgs Karl Blake Lorna Swanton Steve Swanton Riders = 6 Weather: Report: A short ride made more difficult by the wind, but it did work up appetite for our dinner at the Fox and Hounds in Uffington where we were looked after by Sam the manager. It proved to be a good choice as we were able to sit in the conservatory and gaze at the White Horse without the wind! It was a quick ride home, with the wind behind us. Thank-you one and all for a very enjoyable evening.

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 2:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Monthly 16-32km (10-20 miles) family and social afternoon rides, usually with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph). Occasional short or gentle climbs. To mark Bike Week our Easy Saturday ride will be heading northwards to Duxford, the lowest ford on the Thames, where we'll stop for a paddle followed by a picnic. We'll head out via Denchworth and Lyford to Southmoor, cross the A420 on a bridge carrying a bridleway and continue to the beautiful village of Longworth. A short section of rideable bridleway will bring us through to Hinton Waldrist. Here a road drops down into the Thames Valley and Duxford. Riders can rest awhile by the ford and even go for a paddle. There is a short climb back into the Vale from the ford, but this is on a very quiet road (cul de sac) which everyone can take at their own pace. We'll regroup for a picnic tea by the church in Hinton Waldrist. Please bring something to sit and refreshments. We'll return to Grove Via Lamb Lane and Charney Bassett, a round trip of about 20 miles. This is a Bike Week Event and all are welcome including families. As we will be visiting the ford, please note that all children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The ride will be at easy pace following quiet country lanes with no-one left behind.

Leader: Jon Townsin	Start Time: 4:00 am	Start Location: Wantage Market Place
Description: Please note - revised start time! After a year of absence the Summer Solstice madness ride is back! We leave Wantage Market place at 4.00 to get to a viewing point on the Ridgeway to see the sunrise on the (very nearly) longest day at 4.48. From the top of Hackpen we head off south via Lambourn, Ashbury to Chilsledon for a welcome coffee stop. From there we head to Avebury via Broad Hinton to pass the Standing Stones and head south before looping back up via Pewsey and Great Bedwyn to a much needed breakfast at Hungerford. Once refreshed, we head back over the Lambourn valley to get the final reward of a downward excursion of Chain Hill and journey's rest at the Marketplace. This is a big day out with 123 kilometres of cycling and 1300 metres of climbing, so be prepared for 6 - 7 hours in the cycle and a good number (I count eight!) of hills. Lights will be essential and I recommend bringing some snacks to munch whilst we wait for the sunrise. Let me know if you're aiming to join us so we can plan accordingly.
Riders: Barry Stanton Eddie Little Jo Little John Tranter Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Richard Saunders Steve Swanton Riders = 8 Weather: Report: Wow, es mucho scorcio - at least it was when we finished! What a fantastic ride. Eight brave souls dragged themselves out of bed for a 4.00 am start from Wantage Market place. Strangely enough, it was nearly going home time for some of Wantage's younger specimen. We passed one walking home to Lambourn - twice! The sunrise viewed from the top of Hackpen was spectacular to say the least and the temperature was a gentle 14 degrees - so apart from the early morning flies it was a fantastic start to the ride. Steve travelled with us to Lambourn from where he headed off to Polly's Tea rooms in Marlborough. We meanwhile cycled off up the Ridgeway again and down again to Ashbury and up to Fox Hill and down again (you get the idea) to a welcome coffee stop at Chiseldon. The organisers of the Sunday Sportive had kindly marked out 90% of the route and our Garmins finished off the job by leading us to a very quiet and civilised sojourn at Avebury by 7.30. Eddie and Richard (battling hay fever) shared the King of the mountain while Barry wore the best young rider's jersey (!). Everyone managed the pace of 22.1 kph and the climb of 1,383 metres very well indeed, considering the total length of 122.3 km. A welcome stop at The Tutti Pole in Hungerford for breakfast set us up nicely for the final 30 km back to Wantage. The final pull up the back of the escarpment was a tough section but everyone made it to be rewarded with the final fling down Chain Hill. Joy came out to cheer us on toward the end (that is what you were doing there, wasn't it Joy?!). Well done to all riders and I've booked the weather again for next year !
Distance: 122.20 km (75.93 mi)

Best ride for me so far, very atmospheric!

We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way. This week we'll be heading to Childrey with its picturesque village pond overlooked by thatched cottages. We'll ride out through Denchworth and West Challow before taking a tarmaced bridleway up into Childrey. We'll return via the track to East Challow and a back route via the canal. A round trip of about 11 miles .
Riders: Ben Paine David Paine Ellie Paine Lorna Swanton Nicky Clark Sheena Arnold Steve Swanton Riders = 7 Weather: Report: A gentle ride for a very hot evening, and probably unique in that we delivered all riders to their front doors along the way. The main off-road sections also provided us with very welcome shade as the temperatures hovered in the high 20s. Notable too that the canal towpath, apart from one bobbly section at the Wantage end, has become lovely and smooth - an excellent surface for cycling. Unfortunately at present it comes out at the meeting point of 3 building sites (Downsview Park, Letcombe Fields and Stockham Farm) as the westward expansion of Wantage continues... Nice to see Ben out with Ellie and Dave for his first ride this year. See you all next time.

Leader: Jane John	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Led by Jane on her first ride leading effort! A longer ride, but very flat. A good loop around the north and west Vale. We will keep a good steady pace, minimise the stops and see how we can eat up the miles! If all else fails, there are some short cut options. 24 miles / 38km at a good pace of 12-13 mph / 20kph.
Riders: Gareth Smith Jane John John Hibberd John Tranter Jordan Slater Karen Townsin Katherine Cook Mike Bailey Phillip Folkes Sara Ward Sheryl Hibberd Simon John Susan Holdroyd Tony Clark Val Smith Riders = 15 Weather: Report: What a glorious evening to be out cycling around the Vale, and with two new riders as well, welcome to Kat and Jordan. After Simon’s minor altercation with a squirrel, (rider and animal emerged unscathed) we left Denchworth and headed towards Stanford in the Vale. Once the peace of the countryside was restored, after being disturbed by a low flying Chinook stalking us along Northmead Lane, we bowled along at an average speed of 12.2 mph. Once over the A417 we all enjoyed the glorious views of the White Horse from Shellingford onwards. At 24.5 miles this was a slightly longer, but flat 2* ride which was managed comfortably by all the riders. Thank you to everyone for coming along, to Karen for sweeping and to John T (and Simon) for moral support. Also to Sara for keeping me company at the beginning of the ride, it felt strange setting out with no one in front of me. Phew, that’s the first ride led then. Riders lost = 0 Mechanicals = 0 Double phew!

Leader: David Smith	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). May be hilly. Enough daylight to attempt John's Boar's Hill route. It's a fairly long one for 3* at 49km but it's well worth it on a bright summer evening. Pretty flat other than the climb to Boar's Hill to look down on the dreaming spires of Oxford. Quiet lanes throughout apart from a short stretch of the A415 and A338 between Marcham and Garford where we normally split into smaller groups.
Riders: Adrian West Barry Stanton David Smith David Talboys Des Higgs John Groves Jon Townsin Karl Blake Katherine Boyce Kirsten Smith Nick Dunton Nicole Pethybridge Sharon Bedford Steve Joyce Ursula Hallam Riders = 15 Weather: Report: The ride was a little disconnected at first due to unusually busy traffic getting out through Grove and Denchworth, a wrong turn by the leader just after Denchworth didn't help either. After that the group settled in to a nice rhythm and we made good progress to the top of Boar's Hill. We initially regrouped right at the top but then moved off to admire the view and take photos. The descent from the top was enjoyed by all and the rest of the return journey was assisted by a slight tail wind. Hopefully the ride challenged most people, but was not too challenging for anyone. Thanks for coming along and to Ursula for sweeping.

Leader: Phil Ward	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly, a 2 hours + ride this week, at a riding pace in the region of 27-29km/h (17-19mph). May be hilly, aiming to ease the pace for regroupment rather than stop. "Wakey wakey, Rise and shine, (the LONG 4* ride) It's on again..." (Radiohead Webcast 09-11-07 - Faust Arp) highlighted this evening's featured location of Wittenham Clumps recording at their acoustic best on the fabled hills, albeit at dawn. Weather permitting (see below*), we however will thread our way Eastwards in an almost Mid-Summer's evening glow to the atmospheric Bronze Age fortress via gentle lanes, with the prospect of a couple of particularly good hard "pulls" up to the Cholsey Downs and Hagbourne Hill on our return, prior to a pacey run-in along the A417, now becalmed with the falling dew (I'll get my coat...). Fluids, not druids.... Please fuel and clothe for 65km/350m. *FLUIDS essential, 2 bottles sensible... ETA returning via Wantage (8:40pm) to Grove around 8:50pm running at 28kph average....
Riders: Frank Schroer Jason Jones Louis Hall Nick Stokell Paul Jarvis Phil Ward Richard Kembleton Riders = 7 Weather: Report: "The heat is on, on the street" ..... Glen Frey (1984), popularised by its use in Beverly Hills Cop came to mind in sweltering conditions as six lined out on the A338 towards Hanney. The Steventon Road proved calmer and enabled compact pairwise riding and conversation as we settled at a steady ~30kph into a welcome cooling headwind drift. Topics under discussion included "how hot does it need to get before you jettison the leg warmers Louis ? "You can make a break, you can win or lose, That's a chance you take, when the heat's on you" 6 became 7 around Steventon after a spirited chase-on to the group by Frank who is leaving it progressively later to join - we'll catch him out one day, but he likes a good work out To enliven the ride further, homage to 617 Squadron was made by sudden and unannounced deployment of bouncing bomb bidons, twice from the ride leader's cage and a further attempt on group harmony by Nick joining in the bottle-dropping game. Needless to say, such hazards were expertly avoided by the 4* crew as we kept excellent pace over the climby portion of the Clumps loop. Turning for home, we picked up pace a little with the help of falling temperatures and a light tailwind. Traffic was light on the A417, but the temporary traffic-lights conspired to split the group on the last stretch into Wantage. No matter, all crew returned safely to base at 8:45pm, slightly up on schedule having averaged 28.7kph. Many thanks all for the smooth completion of a good long summer evening's ride. In particular my appreciation for trialling the "slow, but don't stop on hill tops" mode, from which my data suggests a mere 22 seconds spent stationary (thus avoiding "the sweats" ) on a 2h17 / 65km ride - nice !

Leader: Nick Dunton	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: At 76.5km, this is a long two-star ride for a Saturday afternoon but is relatively flat (only 381m of climbing) and has only one significant climb (Hagbourne Hill). And, hey, it's almost the longest day, so what else do you want to be doing? It will be run at the usual two-star speed (18-20km/h) and we will re-group at the top of all hills. No one will be left behind! We should be back in Grove by 6.00 p.m. at the latest. There will be a refreshment stop in Abingdon. Note this route uses the cycle path from Harwell Campus to Ginge which is bumpy in places, and can get muddy after rain, but is passable on all but the most delicate road bikes.
Riders: Barry Stanton Eddie Little Jane John Jo Little Karl Blake Mike Bailey Nick Dunton Nigel Hughes Phillip Folkes Riders = 9 Weather: Report: A very mellow outing. Welcome to Nigel Hughes on his first CUK ride. Weather was fine throughout, despite the occasional threat of rain. There was a stiff headwind on the return leg which slowed progress a little. Drinks were taken in Abingdon where there was an outside spin-class in the market square rising money for a breast cancer charity: very odd to stop cycling and sit watching other people cycling but getting nowhere. We did a slight detour, taking the cycle path to Wittenham and doubling back on the B4106 to avoid the dangerous right-hand turn on to Sires Hill. Back to Grove around 5.30. My Garmin said average speed 21.0 k.p.h. Just over two-star pace. Chapeau to Barry and Karl, for whom this was just a pipe-opener for the 100 miles tomorrow.

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 8:00 am	Start Location: Wallingford Market Place
Description: 20/6 As well as the century, we will be running a 50-mile option led by Robin Tucker from Wallingford to coffee and back by a different route: Wallingford 50. If you would like to ride the 50 or 100, please let Steve know by 8pm Thursday 22 June. An opportunity to ride 100 miles taking in some less familiar territory in West Berkshire and North Hampshire (and we'll just touch Wiltshire too). We'll follow a similar route to the 2014 Centry and will maintain a steady pace of 12-13mph. The main stops and approximate timings are: Start: Wallingford Market Place 8am (prompt please) Coffee/breakfast: Mulberry & Thyme restaurant, Hilliers Garden Centre, Hermitage (28 miles) 10:30-11:15 Lunch: Yew Tree Cafe (garden centre), Ball Hill (51 miles) 13:15-14:15 (we have been asked to pre-order) Tea and cake: Chez Swanton, Grove (78 miles) 16:30-17:15 End: Wallingford (101 miles) 19:00-19:15 The ride will start from the Market Place opposite the Tourist Information office. The nearby Goldsmiths Lane long-stay car park (OX10 0DS) is free on Sundays. The plan is to follow a clockwise route through the Chilterns, dropping down to the Thames at Pangbourne and following the Pang Valley up to Hermitage. We'll ride around Thatcham, down to Kingsclere and cycle west along the foot of Watership Down and the North Downs to Highclere and Ball Hill. After lunch we'll continue westwards to Hungerford and Chilton Foliat before returning to Oxfordshire by way of Lambourn. From Grove, the last stretch is across the Vale via East Hendred, Sutton Courtenay and the Moretons. Be prepared for a long and demanding day in the saddle and something approaching 1600m of ups and downs. Please let Steve know in advance if you are interested in coming to aid with planning refreshments and for pre-ordering lunch. Please let us know if you have any particular dietary requirements.

Riders: Barry Stanton David Green John Tranter Karl Blake Marion Richards Peter Hallowell Robin Tucker Sharon Bedford Steve Swanton Riders = 9 Weather: Report: 15 riders completed the 2017 edition of the Oxfordshire Century ride, riding into Wallingford in glorious evening sunshine. It had been a tough day but everyone managed well and we finished strongly together as a group. Well done to Karl, Sharon and Marion on completing their first 100. This year everything went well, no punctures, and excellent refreshment stops. The temperature was very pleasant too and apart from a nagging westerly either side of lunch, riding conditions were ideal. All in all it made for a great day on the bike. Particular thanks to Carin and Lorna for providing a superb and much welcome spread for tea., to John and Robin for helping with leading duties and to Peter and Patrick (from Wallingford) for sweeping all day. I will post a fuller report and a few pictures over the next few days... If anyone has a gpx log they would be happy to share, we can affix below.

Leader: Robin Tucker	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres and good lights required. We are keen to welcome new riders and have spare lights available to borrow if you let me know. Dark, cold and wet - we'll ride in any two. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride.
Riders: Ian Fraser Robin Tucker Riders = 2 Weather: Report: It was a damp start for new rider Ian. When I say new, he's been riding for a fair few years but this was his first time out with us. Or, should I say me, because we were the only two out. Fortunately the rain stayed at a very gentle drizzle for the ride and we managed a full circuit up to the Ridgeway and back. We went out via Crab Hill, Goddards Brook and Bitham Woods. The rain had made some of the roots slippery but we stayed upright. Then cruised East on the Ridgeway with a good tailwind. For the descent we picked the classic Ginge drop, including the twisty side sections. It didn't disappoint! Then on the road past Betterton, through the woods to Ardington and back into Wantage returning on a more slippery version of Crab Hill.

Really enjoyed my first ride with Wantage CTC, Thanks Robin. A little damp and drizzly, wet grass slapping against my legs, feet soaking wet and long wet grass hiding the berms.... Great fun! Excellent descent through the woods.

Leader: Steve Boreham	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Our leisurely and sociable 10-mile club rides are designed specifically with adult newcomers to cycling and youngsters in mind, or those who just want some relaxed and sociable exercise. We cover a distance of about 10 miles at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph, following quiet country lanes and the occasional easy off-road track. We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way. This time, we head out via Denchworth and Charney Bassett. On to Gainfield and up to Pusey, before a cheeky little cut through via the estate, using bridleway, back towards Charney Bassett, then via Lyford, and Denchworth. Total of around 14 miles Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride.
Riders: Riders = 0 Weather: Report: There were no takers for the One Star tonight. Weather was fairly inclement with cold temperatures and drizzle with the threat of heavier rain, so this was understandable. Ride leader therefore joined the Two Star, and pleased to say the torrential rain held off, so nice to get a ride in. Here's to better weather next week!

Leader: Susie Turnbull	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Susie's first ride leading adventure! Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride. Heading north to Charney Bassett, then to Fyfield, turning left to Longworth etc and back through Stanford in the Vale. Very flat. 20 miles to the Fox and another 2 back to Grove.
Riders: Des Higgs John Tranter Karl Blake Robert Treadgold (deceased) Roger Turnbull Steve Boreham Susie Turnbull Riders = 7 Weather: Report: What a difference a few days can make. From boiling hot to wet and mild. I was relieved to see a few had turned up for my first time as a leader but also quite pleased to have such a select little band of men! Thanks to Roger for supporting me especially as he hadn't been on his bike for about 4 months. Also thanks to John T for his guidance and telling me to slow down! We had a flat, uneventful ride and managed several potentially tricky road crossings with ease. The rain was definitely setting in as we returned through Denchworth and NO ONE wanted to stop at the pub! thanks to all of you for turning up on a miserable evening and making my experience of being a leader so easy

Leader: Jon Townsin	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). May be hilly. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride. ***If the forecasted rain arrives I'll run a shortened version of this ride to lessen the drenching ! Don't forget your lights !!!*** This week sees the welcome and overdue return to the loop over Hackpen Hill, down into Lambourn and gently back up again to the drop into Ashbury. From there we'll wind our way over the vale via Compton Beachamp, Uffington and Goosey to Denchworth. As it is pub night, for some the ride will finish here and for others it will be a short stretch back to Grove. At 50km this will be one of the seasons longer Tuesday evening rides, so prepare for a pace at the top end of 3* (24kph). NB if you are cycling after the fox don't forget your lights!
Riders: Andy Pixton David Smith David Talboys Jan McCabe John Groves Jon Townsin Jordan Slater Joy Arthur Karen Townsin Kirsten Smith Mike Cooke Sharon Bedford Ursula Hallam Riders = 13 Weather: Report: 13 souls braved the inclement weather on a shortened loop down to Seven Barrows and back over Blowingstone Hill. Jan was persuaded to join the 3* by an attentive Andy who had clearly listened to the amended route briefing (thanks Andy, it always encouraging to know someone is listening to the briefing!) and Sharon joined us en route out of Wantage. Jordan made short work of his first 3* and clearly had plenty of spare energy for more. 5 of the initial band of 13 stopped off at The Fox (aka The Mary Celeste) to find no other riders had made it back. Katherine had come straight from work for dinner and it was good to see Andy Cowan out again, clearly making progress. Finally, after we'd told the staff not to expect any further riders (2* where were you?) the 4* group arrived, 4 minutes late, having completed 59km (all due to an exploding bottle cage, we're led to believe It's only the soggy rides that make the sun that bit nicer - well done to all.

Leader: Phil Ward	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly, a 2+ hours ride at a riding pace of 25-29km/h (16-18mph). Confirmation, it IS a HILLY route & with good weather breathtakingly beautiful. Poor weather will provoke adjustment to a shorter option. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride (lock? £, lights.....) 'Once more unto the breach' & making full use of the extended evening light we head "Over the hills and far away" (Gary Moore 1987 from the Wild Frontier aka Wiltshire, LP) It's a direct line for the county boundary tonight, taking us up and over into a maze of beguiling lanes linking Lambourn, Aldbourne & Bishopstone: 60km with a largesse of climbing (conforming as just about "acceptable" to my rule of thumb: 100m/10km) keeping the option of missing out "Dragon Reverse" if we're feeling cooked prior to ending at the Fox, Denchworth for a well deserved pint . As before, aiming to keeping rolling once over each crest, with an easing of pace for regroupment rather than stop. An efficient group ride ethic should bring us to the quenching sooner (I'm keeping 8:45pm at The Fox as a notional target - that's 27kph all the way round for the hardofmaths. Add 5 mins or so if we launch up the Dragon, 'crying God for Harry, England, and Saint George!' ). 60km / 660m Twiddly gears advised, drinks & a nibble too
Riders: Carrie Kembleton Frank Schroer Jason Jones Phil Ward Richard Anstis Riders = 5 Weather: Report: A recipe for a fabulous ride. Publish your route early, then take three 4* riders and leave OMH promptly. Moisten slightly and warm, within 5km the group will swell to a famous five. Jason “Geo. Formby” Jones was spotted “a leanin’ on a lamppost at the corner of the street, In case a certain little peloton came by” whereas Frank “Runaground” Schroer was in good “Chase you down” form and latched on somewhere on the outskirts of Wantage. A quick check on reaching Lambourn a little after 7pm that we were all having fun returned a consensus to crack on rather than curtail our foray into some of Wiltshire’s finest lanes with grass centre lines, gravelled corners and twisty tree-covered descents. Aldbourne was soon ticked off and we began the drag up towards Foxhill in perfect conditions for some steady conversational pedalling with a light cooling drizzle proving refreshing. Negotiating the rollers around Bishopstone where the tar had previously melted through to create shiny and challenging corners was interesting, however the rattle-clatter-thud of the now habitual “4* throwing of the bottle” brought us abruptly to a halt. Carrie was however not suffering a sense of humour failure, merely a disintegrating bottle cage, the parts of which Richard efficiently reassembled. It was at this point that I happened to notice a substantial D-lock shackled around Carrie’s bike headtube. No, not content with happily pedalling up all the hills chattering to all and sundry, she had even brought along a substantial deadweight to make the exercise worthy – chapeau indeed! I mused at the likely XY carnage should the capable triumvirate of Ruth, Sian and Carrie ever happen to coalesce on a Tuesday evening. We elected to slip along the base of the White Horse rather than labour up the slippery incline into the thick cloud now enshrouding the hill. Strong pulls along the Baulking Road from our Ironman Richard, Frank and Jason brought us almost back on schedule to reach the Fox where a welcome beer and bike-friendly cheer brought the ride to a close. Thanks all for a really satisfying ride – as ever, rain so often merely adds character to a ride whereas wind changes the dynamics. 58.7km; 570m elevation; 26.8kph
