Riders:Carin TranterJoanna Houlston Lorna Swanton Michael Tayler Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Riders = 7 Weather:Report:A lovely evening for a mellow ride (despite the flying ants in the OMH car park) and it was great to have our largest Tuesday 1* group since May. A warm welcome back to Joanna.We followed the route as planned visiting Stockham via the old airfield path, which was new to several riders. We stopped to catch our breath after the hill in East Challow and then enjoyed the panoramic views from the bridleway as we continued on to Childrey. All too soon we were in Sparsholt and turning back. The descent from Childrey on the B4001 to the A417 is always fun and after a short burn down the main road to Goosey we continued more gently back to Denchworth and Grove. Thanks everyone for your company. A joy to lead. | ||

Description:Continuing our series of first-Tuesday-of month gentler paced off-road rides.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. |

Report:Joined by Tim on his e-bike - a first for us. He made the climbs look easy while we were puffing and panting!But in the twisty turny woods, the tables were turned as nimbleness came into play! But it was all good fun and we re-grouped after each section and chatted as we rode along, out to the Ridgeway, down Ice Valley, up to Scutchamers Knob, down to Harwell, through the woods and back. | ||
Distance:30.58 km (19.00 mi) | ||

Riders:Chris BaileyJane John John Tranter Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Katherine Boyce Lisa Footner Lisa Green Nick Dunton Roger Postbeschild Sharon Bedford Riders = 11 Weather:Report:As we were 11 riders we divided into 2 groups, Jon Townsin had kindly volunteered to the second group. My group cycled the route clockwise at a speedy 14.9 ave mph, thank you to Nick for swapping in to take the wind! Jon's group took a slightly different route (operator error, the reverse route I had sent him was private - meaning he couldn't open it!) We still managed to cross paths about half way round, just outside Hinton Waldrist for a group selfie. Timing eh!A truly beautiful evening's ride in the vale. | ||
