Report:A gloriously sunny and clear evening saw 5 out on the 10-mile club ride. After a brief stop in Denchworth to pump up a flagging tyre, we continued according to plan to Lyford, turning off the main through-road to the centre of the village and the small church. We found the church to be open and spent 10 minutes or so investigating the interior.Continuing to West Hanney, there were lovely views southwards to the Downs. We stopped briefly on the village green and admired the blossom on the surrounding trees, before pedalling gently back to Grove. | ||
Distance:16.90 km (10.50 mi) | ||
