Tuesday Evening 1* Ride 1*
Leader:
Carin Tranter
Start Time:
6:30 pm
Start Location:

Description:
This is a pre-bookable ride. Please book your place by texting the ride leader no sooner than the Wednesday before the ride (don't forget to include your name).
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.

Report:
A very pleasant ride out to Garford, via Denchworth and Lyford. We went through the farmyard to the little old church where we posed for a photo in the church porch.

We came back down to Hanney and then across the track where we came out on the Grove to Denchworth Road. Martyn - ever the naturalist spotted deer and hares as we came across the fields.

Thank you for a very relaxing ride.

PS The photo caption is incorrect - should read Garford church not Lyford!

23.01 km (14.30 mi)

Report:
A few surprises with riders who hadn't booked but great to meet some new faces and some faces I hadn't seen in a while. Special thanks to John Tranter for the extra help in stepping up as another ride leader and navigating the ride through the tricky parts at the start. An enjoyable ride on a lovely evening and great to get out on the bike.

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.

Report:
Great turn out for a favourite route.
Everyone made short work of the climbs (marred only by the big tractor coming down towards us as we were cycling up the back road to Sparsholt Firs.)
The evening sun put in an appearance as we climbed up Seven Barrows which made for glorious views.
Lovely friendly group tonight
