Report:A select group of 3 10-milers rode out from Grove on a beautiful summers evening. We followed the route as planned through Charlton to the Nelson and out along route 44 to Betterton. We stopped at the top to admire the views before speeding down the hill into Ardington.Here we stopped for a mellow half at the Boar's Head sitting outside in the sunshine. Refreshed, we decided to do part of the hill again, so returned to Lockinge, turned left up the hill, carried on past the church and then turned left up the estate road to regain the Ardington road by the Icknield Way. Lovely cooling breeze on the descent... As Lorna hadn't cycled in to Wantage from Lockinge before and Alvaro was heading back to Charlton anyway, we decided to retrace our steps to East Lockinge and back into Charlton. Another enjoyable evening. | ||
