Leader:Steve Boreham |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:Old Mill Hall |
Description:Loopy Tuesday - a figure of 8 loop around the Vale (13 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 of us for this one.....The sun was not out as much, but after some hot days, this made for a very pleasant temperature to ride in. The simple "figure of eight" loop, via Lyford and West Hanney, each where we paused for breath and a natter. Firstly, on going through Denchworth we encountered "road closed" signs, but leader went ahead to investigate, and others quickly followed when I didn't come back! aka - road all clear. After Lyford and West Hanney, we curled out towards Goosey but eschewed Goosey to turn back via Asti Stud, Denchworth and home. A total of 14 miles Back at Grove just after 8 (reminds me of a Chocolate mint!). Thanks for a lovely ride everyone. | ||
