Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:A 55km (34 mile) hilly leg-stretcher. Starts easy, out from Grove to Goosey, Baulking and Uffington. Then we do the White Horse loop (why? It's like a magnet...) followed by Court Hill and across the backroads to Farnborough for the great descent of Chain Hill. Tea stop in Wantage at the end.

Report:After a perfect sunny week, we unfortunately got the grey clouds and the gale force winds today. Which might have influenced the numbers - we went for quality rather than quantity on this one! All went according to plan, although a few exposed sections had us wondering if the side wind would take us into the nearest field. | ||
Distance:55.00 km (34.18 mi) | ||
