Tuesday Evening 1* Ride 1*
Leader:
Diana Whidborne
Start Time:
6:30 pm
Start Location:
OMH
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:
Another roasting evening, bright sunshine and little breeze. Some would say a perfect evening for a ride, lets remember that in November!
We headed out the usual way via Denchworth to Hanney and then onto Garford and Marcham. We then made our way to Tubney and to Fyfield via the tunnel before heading home through Southmoor and Charney Basset.
A lovely evening with no issues and great company, thanks to all

Back on 30 Aug. - 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:
A lovely ride tonight with an energetic group. Great to see some faces that I haven't seen in a while and nice to have some extra help to manage the larger group. Thanks Jane. Lots of great chatter along the way and we enjoyed a lovely sunset. We amended the route to slightly so shorten the distance.
