Report:
A beautiful morning for a leisurely cycle around Denchworth, Lyford and Charney Basset.

We were joined by two new riders Tom Craig and his daughter Islay who was just 8 years of age. As this was a first ride out on roads for Isla she did exceptionally well and the 9.5 mile route was completed in just over on hour and a quarter. Points of interest, Red Kite, lambs, and a woodpecker!

We were blessed with sunshine and not too much wind which was just perfect. After a brief stop for Easter eggs at Charney Bassett village green we were blown to the Cafe in Grove for a well deserved coffee and cake stop!

Some of our regular riders split at Charney for a slightly longer ride with a stop off at Stanford for coffee. Thanks to all riders for their support and encouragement for our newcomers.
Distance:
15.29 km (9.50 mi)
