| 2* Saturday Half-Day Ride to Ashbury via Lambourn | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:10:00 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:To avoid flooded roads in the vale as far as we can, a ride out to Ashbury via Lambourn with a loop back through the vale via Uffington and Fernham (avoiding the Baulking turn on the A417). Refreshments at the Baking Bee Cafe in Ashbury. Forecast is showery with a breeze from the south east, perfect for pushing us up the valley from Lambourn to the Ridgeway!The planned route is 36 miles, which we will take at steady 2* pace, with almost all of the climbing (and 2 of our 3 descents) before coffee. Expect to be back in Grove around 1:30pm. There are options to shorten the route back (e.g. via Westcot and Childrey) if conditions deteriorate. Please let me know by text if you are planning to come. Half-day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). |
