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 pre-bookable ride only.

Some hills: Going up Hackpen Hill to cross the Ridgeway then down towards Lambourn. The return along the Seven Barrows Road again climbs to re-cross the Ridgeway. However, this is an easier climb and is followed by a descent of Blowinsgtone Hill and a flat journey back. |

Report:A very pleasant evening for a ride over the Ridgeway. There were a total of ten riders on the two 2* rides which were combined. The soccer match between England and Germany in the European Cup was ongoing at the time we set off. This may have reduced the numbers of riders but those partaking were able to enjoy the noticeably quieter roads.We were caught up by the 3* ride in Letcombe Bassett. Maybe our departure via the "1* route" along Brereton drive followed by only a short wait at the temporary lights at the Denchworth Road junction had helped us. Our 2* stop at the top of Holborn Hill then allowed the 3* riders to push ahead. We were also treated to some low flying by a microlight plane at the bottom of Hackpen Hill. Despite earlier forecasts the weather during the ride was good and we were able to enjoy the views. The seven barrows route is one of my favourites and it was again a pleasure to cycle. | ||
