Report:
We soon all warmed up after the ascent of Chain Hill and enjoyed the ride. A dry and sunny day led to some amazing views over the downs. Lots of bluebells and lambs to admire. I had a puncture at Woolley so Kath and Andy left us as Kath had to go to work. After Ed had mended it (thanks Ed!)the rest of us decided to stop at Court Hill cafe and then to do a further loop up Hackpen.
This was a (very) hilly but enjoyable ride.
Great to have Ed back on a 3* ride and thanks to everyone for being such great company.

Back on your Bike Ride 2024 1*
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
2:00 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
Our Annual Spring Ride aimed at those who haven't been cycling much over the winter and want to dust off their bike and get the pedals turning again. Newcomers will be very welcome and it's an opportunity for club members to bring family and friends. Please note that children are very welcome but need to be accompanied by a responsible adult. Please let Steve know if you would like to come or have any queries about the ride. In case you were expecting the ride on the 7th April, we have delayed a week (and hopefully for drier weather!)

This year's ride will follow an essentially flat route around the lanes of the Vale of White Horse visiting the pretty villages of Lyford, Charney Bassett and Stanford-in-the-Vale, a round trip of about 15.5 miles. We'll have a refreshment stop at Stanford - either bring a snack or buy at the village shop. Please bring a drink to slake your thirst.
