Leader:Nick Dunton |
Start Time:1:00 pm |

Description:Nick’s Fat-Buster: A relatively flat route of 74 km, although a remarkable amount of the ride is slightly uphill – hence the name: won’t be much free-wheeling! Mostly good roads; there is one short piece of bridle-path to cross the A420 and the cycle-path between Abingdon and Sutton Courtenay. Only two significant hills: over Wittenham Clumps and the climb between West Hendred and Ginge. We’ll be aiming for a brisk average pace of c. 20 k.p.h. Refreshment stop in Abingdon or Didcot, depending on the pace of the ride. Should be back in Grove by 6.00 p.m. at the latest.Route: Grove, Denchworth, West Hanney, Southmoor, Longworth, Appleton, Cumnor, Abingdon, Sutton Courtenay, Appleford, Long Wittenham, Little Wittenham, North Moreton, South Moreton, Didcot, Harwell, East Hendred, Ginge, East Lockinge, West Lockinge, Grove. Nick Dunton – 01235-848580; mobile 07774-838310. |

My knee (where stung) has swollen up to the point of devouring my knee cap! No cycling this week by the looks of it. |
