Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:A slightly more undulating ride this week, climbing gently through Charlton to Lockinge and on to Betterton using the Grove to Wantage cyclepath and Sustrans route 44. There's a great view from the top of the hill and we'll have two long-ish descents on the way back into Ardington and then past Lains Barn. About 9 miles. All welcome, although under-18s must be accompanied or have parental consent. |

Report:An eventful ride.Edith's group were heading the same way this evening. But, due to a puncture sustained by Jo at the start, Edith's group became split. We caught up with the main body of riders waiting by Grove Bridge. As it was a cold evening, several of the riders chose to keep moving and continue with us as far as Betterton. So numbers swelled by Liz, Sara, John and Michael, we followed the planned route out via Charlton- nice to have you all along for a while. By the Nelson we came across a lorry straddling the road, which had managed to drive into the verge and was firmly stuck. Woops! We had to walk round to reach the track out to Lockinge. Edith and her group caught us up by Lockinge and swept past taking our extra riders with her. We turned off at the top of the hill and stopped to enjoy the view across the vale . Jane showed the fastest wheels down the hills, while Susan was strongest on the climb from Lockinge up to the Lains Barn crossroads. We also met a youngster who wanted to come along with us, having done quite a bit of track racing in the past. We provided him with a copy of the club programme and asked him to ask his parents to get in touch to provide their consent. We hope that this will happen and that we'll see him again. | ||
