| Saturday afternoon 2* ride from Grove | 2* |
|---|

Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Monthly 45-55km (30 - 40 miles) afternoon ride, with a tea stop, at a riding pace of ~18km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Might be a struggle for new riders in winter months.To blow away those January blues/cobwebs our first 2* Saturday ride of 2010 will take a flattish journey to Aston pottery for tea. Intended route will be as follows- Old Mill Hall, West Hanney, Southmoor, Longworth, Hinton Waldrist, Pusey, Buckland, Bampton, Aston Pottery (Tea Stop), Cote, Buckland via Great Brook towpath, Charney Bassett, Lyford, Denchworth, Old Mill Hall. Approx 34 miles total distance. |

Riders:Des HiggsGlen Savegar John Talbot Lyn Taylor Maurice Bawden Peter Busby Richard Divall Steve Boreham Riders = 8 Report:A cold dull afternoon saw 8 of us head out from Old Mill Hall at a steady pace.It is January after all, and we really don't want to be overdoing things this early in the year ! Heading down the aptly named "Winter lane" from West Hanney, Lyn suffered a puncture, fixed it, and was then rewarded for his efforts by a valve blow out rendering the new inner tube an "ex inner tube" ? Richard rode with us as far as Buckland and then headed back home. Making good time after our lengthy mechanical delay we arrived at Aston pottery for about 3.30pm, the tea and cakes very much appreciated by all !... A change to the planned return was required due to flooding of the Great Brook towpath. Thanks Maurice for the advance information. I was a little uncertain about the A415 alternative from Standlake to Kingston Bagpuise, but the road was pretty quiet of traffic and completely fine for a brisk(ish) return by way of Charney Bassett and Denchworth. A really enjoyable afternoon. Thanks everyone for your excellent company ! Glen S | ||
