| Tuesday Evening 1* Ride | 1* |
|---|
Leader:Susan Holdroyd |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:The Hanney Explorer (10 miles). This ride includes some quite rough off road sections. Should be dry given recent weather but there is a section through some trees and then a track which can be quite bumpy - we'll go slow and wait for everyone.Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Our leisurely and sociable Tuesday evening 1* rides are designed specifically with adult newcomers to cycling and youngsters in mind, or those who just want some relaxed and sociable exercise. We cover a distance of 10-15 miles (16-24km) at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph (13-16kph), following quiet country lanes and the occasional easy off-road track. We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way. |

Riders:Chris BaileyClare Hazell Eddie Little Graham Bergdahl James Bosley Jan McCabe John Tranter Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Simon Atkin Simon Wysocki-Jones Riders = 11 Weather: Report:A good turnout of eleven riders for this first ride up White Horse Hill for 2025. Just before we departed Grove, John presented Joy with her trophy, best rider for the past year. Congratulations Joy!! We split into two groups with John kindly leading group two. The weather conditions were perfect for the ride, cloudy sun and an air temperature of around 19c. Traffic conditions were reasonably good. We were treated to a sighting of a Barn Owl which flew in front of us for a short distance in Westcot. This being our third sighting of a Barn Owl on an evening club ride for this season. Everyone made light work of White Horse Hill. The views from the top were as always perfect. A lovely evening spent with a nice group. Thanks to John for the group photos and for leading group two. | ||
