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.... | ||

Riders:Chris MarchantDavid Jackson Eddie Little Karl Blake Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 6 Weather: Report: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! Hopefully see you all on another ride very soon.  | ||
