Tuesday Evening 1* Ride to Charney Bassett via Ock Bridge 1*
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
6:30 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
A scenic loop of the Vale via West Hanney and Charney Bassett. We'll be using the easy tracks over the railway and past the grain store to West Hanney (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:
A lovely evening for a ride, slightly cooler but by no means chilly. A good route, too, crossing the A420 twice without touching its tarmac.
Good to see Tish out on her second ride with us.....apparently there will be more!
The route had a mystery 5km still to do as we entered Grove, I have no idea where that came from, and I didn't seek it out.
Thanks to Gareth for sweeping.

Report:
There was a strong headwind setting out, which made both the ascent and descent of Hackpen difficult. Once we turned into Sevenbarrows we had the wind behind us, which made the rest of the ride much more enjoyable. Welcome to Phil on his first 3* ride and thanks to everyone for their good company.
