| Regular Wantage Ride | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Nick Dunton |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:A figure-of-eight route of around 80-90 km with no major hills. It is January, so I have tried to keep to reasonably clean roads to avoid puncture stops. Three-star ride, so brisk pace. Should be back in Wantage by 3.30 p.m. but bring lights in case of unscheduled stops.Route goes east through Lockinges, Ginges, Hendreds, Featherbed Lane, Steventon, Drayton, Sutton Courtenay, Appleford, Wittenhams. Wallingford [coffee stop, if required], Shillingford, Newington, Stadhampton, Golden Balls [lunch stop at Notcutts Garden Centre], Clifton Hampton, Long Wittenham, Sutton Courtenay, Milton, Steventon, Hanneys, Goosey, Kingston Lisle and back to Wantage along the B4507. |

Report:Five riders. Weather was remarkably clement, although road conditions poor, lots of standing water and many new potholes. We decided to omit the lane through the Lockinges and Ginges owing to poor surface conditions. Featherbed Lane was closed owing to an earlier RTA but we got through OK. Rest of the ride was uneventful. We chickened out of the final loop to Kingston Lisle as my cold was getting the better of me. Back in Wantage by 2.15; total distance 82.5 km. Notcutts Garden Centre OK for lunch, if a little expensive. Need to get there early, however; the restaurant was packed when we left. | ||
Distance:82.50 km (51.26 mi) | ||
