Description:From Grove out to Longworth, Appleton Cumnor, Wootton, Abingdon, Culham, Drayton and then back via Steventon and East Hanney. Pretty flat 30-ish mile (50-ish km)ride, finishing for tea at the Cornerstone Cafe in Grove. Lights recommended if it's a gloomy day, and for riding back from the cafe.The route is here: http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=92133 |

Report:A pretty uneventful ride really - the five of us set off from Grove, having bumped into Steve and Lorna along the way, through Dencwhorth and Longworth, across to Cumnor and then the gradual drop right down to Abingdon and then back via Culham and Steventon. I'm sure we didn't have much help from the wind along the way, but it was right in our faces for the last leg down the A338, where Maurice took one look at the rain spreading from the south and bade us farewell. A little drizzle followed us to the Cornerstone Cafe, where we had multiple rounds of drinks and festive cakes to warm up, not to mention lots of banter with the ladies there. Two hours riding, 75 minutes in the cafe - a nice ratio for this time of year.The ride details can be seen here: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/20088125. | ||
Distance:50.16 km (31.17 mi) | ||
