RIDE CANCELLED - Regular Wantage Ride 3*
Leader:
Jo Little
Start Time:
9:30 am
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
RIDE CANCELLED - Heavy rain overnight and lots of standing water. - Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders.

Trying an all day ride and hoping the weather proves kind to us. We'll head,via Great Coxwell and Little Faringdon, to Coln St Aldwyns (27 miles) for our first stop at the community shop/cafe, . Then return via Aston (44 miles), with an opportunity for another cafe stop if needed, before retracing our steps along Bampton road to avoid the still flooded Great Brook and then tackling Buckland hill. 57 miles in total but only 576m of climbing, so should be doable at this time of year.

Report:
The best laid plans! So a fine morning after heavy rain overnight somewhat scuppered our plans ; as we headed out to Denchworth we rode through some large puddles before getting to the bridge. At which point we were advised that the floods ahead were too deep :(. we discussed going along the main road but decided that the route back would be a problem and so we decided on an alternative short route to Ardington via Laines Barn. Roger who was suffering with back pain returned to Grove, and Des David and myself rode on. The road to Laines barn had some flooding but having observed traffic passing we carried on. We did a circle around Ardington and came back into Wantage using the cycle path on the outskirts of the Kingsgrove estate. Coffee in Marmalade was lovely after which we rode back to Grove. A measley 12 miles but good company and great to be out in the fresh air.
