Daytime 1* Thursday Ride 1*
Leader:
John Tranter
Start Time:
10:00 am

OMH
Description:
Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Easy sociable ride of 24-32 km (15-20 miles) at a pace of 14-17km/h (9-11 mph). 

Hopefully the mini-heatwave will be past its worst by Thursday but we will still do a fairly easy and flat ride - out to the lovely villages of Longworth and Hinton Waldrist and a cafe stop at Munch in Southmoor.

23 miles / 37km
Riders:
Carin Tranter
Diana Whidborne
John Tranter

Riders = 8

Weather:
sunny intervals
Report:
Heatwave over and some worrying spots of rain at the start, but things brightened up and we had a generally sunny ride, albeit with a stiff westerly breeze. Great to explore the lovely villages of the Vale, particularly the church and manor house at Longworth and the views over the edge into the Thames Valley.

We tried out Southmoor Village Hall for our cafe stop, but they were about to close and almost out of cake, so we diverted to Munch who looked after us well.

Thanks to all for a great ride in great company.

Start Time:
10:00 am
Start Location:

Description:
Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Sociable ride of 24-40 km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 18-20km/h (11-13 mph). 

Heading out along the springline road (a bit up and down) to the new cafe at Ashbury - the Baking Bee. Back through the Vale.

Peter Dalgliesh
Riders = 9
Report:
We set off with 10, but Roger discovered a puncture before we got out of the car park. So then we were 9. We took the Spring Line road along to Ashbury into quite a strong headwind but it was pleasantly cooling as temperatures were above average. The Baking Bee cafe looked after us very well with food, drinks and good service. Not so many hills on the way back (in fact only downs) so we made good speed with the wind behind us.

A very good enjoyable ride with good company and no problems.
Distance:
40.00 km (24.85 mi)
