| Saturday afternoon ride from Grove - easy 3* | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Chris Walters |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:63km (40 miles) afternoon ride out to the Eynsham Emporium for tea, riding pace of 20-22km/h (13-14mph). This will be at the easier end of the 3* range for riders wishing to try a 3* ride - it's not hugely long, and pretty flat for a 3*, but we'll try and keep to the advertised pace. |

Riders:Chris WaltersDavid Bridge Derek Boutle Des Higgs Geoff Neill John Tranter Kevin Fairs Neil Mowforth Stephen Quartermain Wenfeng Yang Riders = 10 Report:Well, we had no 2* "upgraders", so plan B was enacted, taking in a larger loop to the north of Eynsham before tea. Neil only just made it in time, and we picked up Kevin and Wen at Gainfield crossroads.An incident just after the A40 crossing saw a group of riders disappear off with no clue where they were going (the wrong way as it turns out), and they seemed to be all following each other. Anyhow the flock of lost sheep returned, somewhat sheepishly, eventually. First rule of club rides, know where you're going. Second rule of club rides, if you ignore rule 1, stick with the leader. Tea at Eynsham was splendid in the little courtyard, nice cakes and ice-creams all round. Kevin and Wen set off a little early to get a head start up the hill to Cumnor, and timed it perfectly! After that we had folks dropping off at various points to get back to their respective homes, and another "following the wrong person" incident, which nearly saw Geoff going back to Longcot with Des and Derek - I was sure Geoff lives in Grove! | ||
