Leader:Sharon Bedford |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:As a courtesy to the ride leader, we ask that you pre-book for this ride. Half day ride (60-70km / 38-45 miles), with a tea stop, riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). Likely to visit distant destinations. Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing likely. This is a pre-bookable ride. To book a place, text your name to the ride leader no earlier than 9:00am on the Sunday before the ride. You will receive confirmation or be advised that the ride is fully booked. A reserve list will be maintained.A trip to Boars Hill. Slightly longer than some half day rides but apart from "The Hill" itself it is pretty flat. Not knowing what the Covid restrictions might be by January I have scheduled a coffee stop in Abingdon market square where there are various options for takeaway. This is the first scheduled ride of 2022 so hoping you can join. |

Riders:Andrew RimmerJo Little John Tranter Lisa Footner Nicole Pethybridge Richard Pethybridge Roger Postbeschild Sarah Bowen Sharon Bedford Riders = 9 Report:Excellent turn out for the first club ride of 2022. Must be those new year resolutions - or else concern about Christmas calories.The weather was kind - much better that forecast a few days before. Very mild for January and we just made it back before the rain got too heavy. We all made it up Boars Hill with no bother (in fact several commented it wasn't as bad as they had feared) and enjoyed the views over Oxford - where the sun came out to order for the photos. We then had a glorious sweep down Bayworth Lane before meandering to Abingdon for our coffee stop. A puncture on the way back due to the debris on the roads - but Richard fixed it amazingly quickly as well as giving us some a tips for future reference, (many thanks Richard). A great group and a good start to 2022 cycling. | ||
