Tuesday Evening 1* Ride to Southmoor 1*
Leader:
Steve Boreham
Start Time:
6:30 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
A longer ride to Southmoor out via Lyford returning via Charney Bassett (14 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:
Five were booked for this ride, with Angie opting to join us at the start. Very happy to accommodate as extra riders always welcome!

Nice smooth with relaxation stops at Denchworth (statutory stop by the walnut tree), shortly after Lyford, at Southmoor (top the hill!) and finally at Charney Bassett.

Lovely relaxed ride all the way and, although overcast, it did mean that was a bit cooler so made the ride more comfortable, with the above stops to add to the "chilling out" factor.

All safely back to Grove with no hitches.

Thank you all for a lovely ride.

A great turn out for a quick spin around the Vale. We split into 2 groups, thank you to Jo for leading one. We had a headwind initially on our way out of Wantage but a tailwind ensured a speedy return to Grove which we all enjoyed.
