| Saturday afternoon ride from Grove | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Iain Kent |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:From Grove heading towards Wantage and then picking up the B4507 as far as Ashbury. Then the B4000 to Shrivenham. Further North towards Lechlade via Coleshill then looping East to Bampton. Stopping for refreshment at Aston Pottery then heading back to Grove via Buckland, Charney Bassett and Denchworth. Not an especially hilly route although 'lumpy' out towards Ashbury and then a couple of climbs at Coleshill and Buckland. Weather permitting, with an average of approx 15mph we should be all done by 5.30pm. 45 miles, lights will be essential. |

Riders:Bryan CharlestonDavid Smith Gez Cornish Iain Kent Janet Charleston John Talbot John Tranter Nick Dunton Ursula Hallam Riders = 9 Report:Thankfully the deluge forecast earlier in the week did not materialise and the nine riders enjoyed dry conditions. The 32 miles to the cafe seemed to pass quickly without event and all the riders stayed pretty much together. David and Ursula left us at Aston (did not need refreshment!) and headed back to Newbury. The rest of us enjoyed a tail wind on our way home and were also treated to glimpses of the sunset. We just about achieved the 15mph target....I was actually home by 5pm with the kettle on..... can't be bad! Thanks to all for a smooth and enjoyable ride. | ||
