Tuesday Evening 1* Ride 1*
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
6:30 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
Tonight, a classic 1* loop around the vale visiting West Hanney, Lyford and Charney Bassett. Michael Tayler will be helping to lead the ride tonight, but please text Steve 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.

Report:
Thanks to Michael for leading us on a nice leisurely ride with good company on a balmy late summer's evening We saw a lot of roadies, being overtaken twice by two chaingangs from Didcot Phoenix and once by a third from Cowley Road Condors! We clearly have the best routes on our doorstep....

A perfect evening for a ride along with a super group for company! The roads were nice & quiet apart from one speed merchant driving a black Audi estate who didn’t believe that speed limits applied on Circuit Road. Never mind you always get one! (mm)

Hopefully see you all on another ride very soon. :D

Report:
We were a good sized group but managed to cycle together except for the initial part through Grove and Wantage - thanks to Sharon for leading the second group. The climb up Hackpen was rewarded with some great downhill sections. The weather was good and it was a lovely evening to be out cycling. Thanks everyone for being such a great group to cycle with.
