| 1* Saturday Half-Day Ride - Snowdrops revisited | 1* |
|---|
Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Update 19/2/26 - with more extensive flooding in the vale today, we'll stay high keeping to the Springline and following a variant of our Snowdrop Ride route from a few weekends ago. And hopefully, we shall still catch plenty of snowdrops and other spring flowers along the way. Through Wantage and out to the Letcombes, then on to Childrey, we'll have the option of an out-and back detour to Sparsholt before returning to Wantage for our refreshment stop. We'll return to Grove via Lockinge and Kingsgrove.Please let me know if you are planning to come. Optional pick-up by the Vale and Downland museum in Wantage by prior arrangement around 1:20pm. Our regular social and family ride on the third Saturday of the month, usually with a cafe stop. We cover 16-32km (10-20 miles) at a leisurely pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph), tackling the occasional hill (nothing too long) and easy off-road track (conditions permitting). |
