Regular Wantage Ride 3*
Leader:
Jo Little
Start Time:
9:15 am
Start Location:
OMH
Description:

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. Climbing almost inevitable.

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.

Skirting north of Witney, using some quiet country lanes, before the cafe stop at Aston Pottery. The stop is at 34 miles, so don't forget to bring a small snack/energy bar if needed. It's a long time before a cafe stop, but I wanted to ensure we had somewhere warm inside to go.
47 miles in total.

Report:
It was a bit cold to start with but not as bad as predicted - and dry!
We were lucky enough to have quiet roads and considerate car drivers which added to the enjoyment. The villages looked great with snowdrops, daffodils and primroses to be spotted. The stop at Aston pottery was very welcome and warmed us up before the last few miles.
Thanks to everyone for being a great group to cycle with.

1* Saturday Half Day Ride - Snowdrop Special - rearranged to Sunday 1*
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
10:30 am
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
After the rain on Saturday morning, the snowdrop ride has been rescheduled to Sunday with a slightly later start time of 10:30am from Old Mill Hall car park. It's forecast to be dry but cold so do wrap-up warm.

A special easy-paced ride to visit the best of our local snowdrops in the churchyards at the Letcombes, Childrey and Sparsholt. These displays just seem to be getting better every year and we will stop to explore and enjoy them. We'll have a refreshment stop at Cantorist Farm in Childrey along the way.

Please let me know by text if you are planning to come.

Our regular social and family ride on the third Saturday of the month, usually with a cafe stop. We cover 16-32km (10-20 miles) at a leisurely pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph), tackling the occasional hill (nothing too long) and easy off-road track (conditions permitting).
