Description:It's Bike Week! Guest riders very welcome for a scenic ride to Ginge. Out via Charlton to join Sustrans route 544 and the quiet roads through Lockinge and Betterton. We'll return on the Icknield Greenway to Ardington and West Lockinge, then back to Grove using the new cyclepath around Kingsgrove (12 miles).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. |

Report:I don't know if you can call this a group ride with only two people, but anyway we both enjoyed it. Decided to do a different route to 1*, so went into reverse to ride Denchworth, Charney, Gainfield, Hatford, Shellingford, Uffington, Kingston Lisle and Childrey. Only one hill at Fawler.A good ride at a reasonable pace - thanks to David for giving me the incentive. | ||

Riders:Barry StantonChris Bailey Graham Bergdahl James Bosley Lisa Footner Philippe Marchioro Sharon Bedford Riders = 7 Report:A strong group of riders this evening meant we were able to take on this long ride (well for a Tuesday evening anyway) and the ascent of Boars Hill at pace - so we were back well before dusk. The perfect evening weather (warm with no wind) made for a fantastic evening cycling. | ||
