| Regular Wantage Ride | 3* |
|---|
Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:NB: start at Old Mill Hall, Grove. Continuing my Oxford special series, this is a fairly gentle ride, only really designated 3* by the total distance (around 100km / 65 miles). We will go out via Hanney, Steventon & Sutton Courtenay to Long Wittenham, then cross the Thames at Clifton Hampden and go through the Baldons to Garsington and Wheatley. Then a super cunning cut through to Shotover and Headington, past the house with a shark in the roof, down Headington Hill, right into the heart of Oxford for lunch at the Mitre on The High - which happens to be managed by our own Andy Cowan who has a few treats in store! Then we head north to Wolvercote and round Port Meadow to Botley and Cumnor, followed by a gentle run home via Fyfield and Charney Bassett. Easy riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). |

Fortunately, the weather improved during the day. A great ride, a great group, and I think the highlight was the free VIP lunch at the Mitre, courtesy of Andy Cowan - thanks, Andy! | ||
