Tuesday Evening 1* Ride | 1* |
---|
Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:An essentially flat ride out via Charney Bassett to the Pusey estate. The route takes in a short section of bridleway (a short stretch of which, through a wood, we may walk, depending on underwheel conditions) to reach this delightful hidden corner. Please text me if you would like to come.Our leisurely and sociable Tuesday evening 1* 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 10-15 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. |

Riders:Barry StantonBrendan St John David Jackson Des Higgs Gareth Smith Gerry Jones Joanna Houlston Karl Blake Riders = 8 Report:It was the longest day of the year and the weather conditions during the evening were perfect for a cycle ride. Our route out to White Horse Hill mainly followed the spring line road (the B4507) apart from taking the minor roads through Childrey, Sparsholt and Wescot. We were rewarded with a fine view from White Horse Hill. After the descent through Woolstone it was a flat ride back. At Uffington we departed very slightly from the advertised route by taking the route past the pub in Uffington rather than than past the church. Des Higgs had advised that the roads this way round had fewer potholes - and indeed it does have a good cycling surface. This contrasted with with the loose gravel on the B4506 - which apparently had been recently resurfaced for the Women's Cycle Tour. Quite how such a surface, even when the loose chippings had been swept away, was deemed good for a cycle race was puzzling. | ||
