Description:This is a pre-bookable ride.

We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way. |

Report:This was a good ride with 5 riders. We went up to Southmoor via Lyford and back down through Charney Bassett to Denchworth and Grove. We stopped for a while to chat to the sows and piglets at the top of the hill out of Southmoor before heading down to Charney. We heard a lot of grunts and squeals in reply!! | ||

Riders:Barry StantonChris Marchant Des Higgs Gareth Smith Jon Townsin Karl Blake Roger Postbeschild Val Smith Riders = 8 Weather:Report:8 riders left on a pretty much perfect summer evening. A thankfully incident free ride, despite my alleged attempt to take out Karl (again).Fines were awarded for passing the ride leader at a tariff of 50p per transgression - both Karl and Barry were on £1.50 each but the aforementioned manoeuvre on Karl caused me to cancel his fine and it didn't seem fair to just charge Barry! A note of caution when riding out of the sun, there was a close incident with Gareth on the A417 where he believes that the overtaking driver just didn't see him. | ||
