| Saturday afternoon ride from Grove | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Iain Kent |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:A winter warmer with plenty of ups and downs! Straight out to Ashbury along the undulating B4507 then turning left (up steep hill at first) on the B4000 to Lambourn. The route continues on to Boxford where we turn North and begin the gradual climb home via Brightwalton, Woolley and joining the A338 up to Court Hill for coffee stop if needed. 42 miles at 14-15 mph plus stops should see us back by 5pm if not before! Lights essential. |

Riders:Barry GillsBryan Charleston Chris Walters Iain Kent Janet Charleston John Talbot Riders = 6 Report:Six riders set off in dry and cool conditions today. We headed into a strong westerly wind out to Ashbury. Bryan did a loop around White Horse Hill to get some training in for next weekend and caught up with us again at the Ashbury turn! We enjoyed the wind on our backs all the way to Boxford and made better progress on this section. Chris left us and headed back to Great Shefford as we turned for Brightwalton. Shortly after this we found ourselves in the midst of a Pheasant shoot with the beaters driving the birds from one side of the road and the shooters on the other! Luckily we emerged unscathed but a little deafened! Bryan and Janet headed off back home as we turned for Woolley. We did not stop for a break (arrived 2 minutes before closing time!) and the three of us left were able instead to complete the course in the remaining daylight. All in all a very enjoyable ride and quite a good work out with some great views in really fine weather for the time of year. | ||
