Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. 1.5-2 hour ride at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph)Village explorer Pub Night! Please arrive by 6.20pm for the ride leader's briefing and a prompt start to the ride. We are not always able to wait beyond the start time. A flat ride out to have a look at Buckland village, and back via either Pusey or Lyford (I will check out the road/bridleway through Pusey before Tuesday, my recollection is it is all very rideable on road bike except for maybe 200m where we might prefer to walk whilst admiring the view), if it isn't a good option for road bike, we will miss Pusey and instead add a bit on through Lyford to get the same distance. Led ride will finish at the Fox in Denchworth, for those wanting refreshment at the end of the ride. |

Riders:Andy PixtonBarry Stanton Chris Bailey Eddie Little Graham Bergdahl Jane John Jess Brooke Jo Little John Tranter Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Lily Shepherd Matt Adamson Nicole Pethybridge Rupert Brooke Sharon Bedford Simon Atkin Yvonne Bird Riders = 18 Weather:Report:Goodness me, I think the combination of good weather and the realisation that this was the last pub night of the season encouraged people to come out. Definitely a season record for a Tuesday evening ride. Therefore grateful thanks to Sharon and Katherine for leading groups 2 and 3 on our nice simple loop around the Vale.It was also great to welcome Jess with her son Rupert, visiting from Leicestershire. Rupert is aged 9 but already an experienced and very fit cyclist. I suspect a name to watch out for in years to come! A good number stayed on at the Fox for chat and great food and drinks (also with the bonus of seeing some peacock chicks in the garden). Thanks to all for a glorious Vale evening. | ||
