| Monthly Saturday 1* Ride - Awayday from Didcot | 1* |  |
|---|
Contact:Steve Swanton - 07857 527990 |
Start Time:2:00 pm |
Start Location:Didcot, Hadden Hill retail park, OX11 9DA |
Description:A change of starting point this month to Didcot to allow us to tour some quiet routes and pretty villages in the eastern Vale.We'll start from the Halfords car park in the Hadden Hill retail park right off the A4130 (Wallingford Road) as you head out of Didcot towards Wallingford (last time we used it, parking was free - to be checked; the space to the left on entering the car park is often empty). Zoom into the start of the route in RWGPS (link below) and switch to satellite mode for overview. All our riding through Didcot will be on cyclepaths. We'll head into town to pick up NCN route 5 to the Wittenhams, then turn south through the Moretons and the Astons (with an optional twin-village tour if we are so minded) en route to a refreshment stop at the Style Acre cafe at Savages garden centre in Blewbury. After tea, we'll make use of an easy off-road route to Upton, where we'll pick up NCN 544 to return to Didcot along the old railway embankment. This gives lovely panoramic views across the Vale. A round trip of about 18.5 miles. Please text me to book a place. Our regular family and social afternoon rides on the third Saturday of the month covering 16-32km (10-20 miles), usually with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph). Occasional short or gentle climbs. |
