Sat Jul 3rd 2010
Saturday afternoon ride from Grove - 3* 3*
Leader:
Sorrel Williams
Start Time:
1:00 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
Starting in Grove, going towards Shrivenham and then taking a right to Highworth. Stopping in Sevenhampton at Roves Farm for tea (mind the gravel road!) and then to Coleshill, Faringdon, Fernham, Fawler, Childrey and Wantage.

Only three hills of note, but considering the flatness of the rest of the route - this is likely to be a fairly fast ride.

A vote will be taken at the beginning of the ride to see whether we want to stop for tea or not. Deciding factors being; wanting to get home in time to watch the Tour de France, wanting to get home in time to change etc before attending the Pot Luck supper and/or the heat!
Riders:
Chris Lea
Chris Walters
Geoff Neill
Sorrel Williams
Stephen Quartermain
Riders = 5
Report:


Well, the Tour de France and Pot Luck supper won the vote at the beginning of the ride. 5 of us headed out on the route as planned, the wind was in our faces for the first half of the ride as we went through Uffington and then onto Shrivenham. We bypassed the spot where we would have stopped for tea and took one of my favourite bits of singletrack road down to Coleshill. Depsite all the claims of 'oh, I'm not fit, I'll walk up Coleshill', we all did specatularly well, particularly Chris L, who's commute to Slough seems to have turned him into a TdF wannabe! Into Faringdon and then out the other side to Uffington and up Fawler Hill, returning via Childrey, East Challow and Grove.

Ice-creams all round in Millbrook Square.
Distance:
58.47 km (36.33 mi)
