Leader:Glen Savegar |
Start Time:2:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Suitable for irregular, social, beginner or family riders, pace will match the slower rider. Not hilly or long. Expect rides up to 2 hours.This month we will take a gentle potter through the pretty villages and low level countryside of the vale. There will be ample time to pause and enjoy the surroundings. Please bring a snack and drink for the journey. Intended route from Old Mill Hall will head out to Denchworth- West Hanney- Southmoor- Charney Bassett- Lyford- Denchworth- Returning to Old Mill Hall. A little short of 16 miles (25kms) total, but an optional short additional loop via Cow Lane, can be decided on the day !... |

Riders:Alex WaltersBrian Hipwell Chris Walters David Bridge Glen Savegar Riders = 5 Report:Arriving at Old Mill Hall for 1.55pm it did look as though we might be a little thin on numbers. Just father and son team Chris and Alex to accompany me on my lonely scoot around the vale Within minutes though we were joined by Brian and David, and that's sufficient to call ourselves a proper group in my book anyway !...What a nice afternoon it turned out to be. The sun shone and spring had most definitely sprung,with Crocus and Snowdrops providing many colourful splashes along the way. After stopping to watch a train pass under Denchworth bridge, a solitary Muntjac was spotted in the next field observing us from a safe distance. Passing through West Hanney a Red Kite swooped gracefully overhead. Very quiet lanes quickly led us past the Hop sticks and into Southmoor for the return part of our journey, this time accompanied by the sight of Roe Deer (I counted 6) to our left, nervously traversing the field and Hedgerow before scurrying off to safety. Assisted by a gentle breeze we soon arrived home. Young Alex did a great job of group riding, keeping a steady pace, avoiding the many pot holes along the way, and even had reserve energy for a victory circuit of OMH car park at the end. Well done Thanks everyone ! Glen S | ||
