| Easy Saturday afternoon ride from Grove | 1* |
|---|
Leader:Steve Boreham |
Start Time:2:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Slightly longer ride (nearly 25 miles) but a gentle ride, with a tea stop, riding pace of 12-16km/h (8-10mph). Suitable for all, including families.Plan is to head out via Denchworth, then near Goosey, and Stanford and up to Hinton Waldrist, before "descending" back south through Fyfield and on to tea stop at Milletts. (outdoors if weather OK....?). Then potter back via Fyfield Wick & West Hanney. Lights advisable if weather is "iffy" and therefore a bit dark on the way back. |

Riders:Andy CowanFrank Schroer Henry Hall Janet Hammonds Lorna Swanton Louis Hall Richard Preece Stan Cowan Steve Boreham Steve Burr Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Tracey Oakden Riders = 13 Weather: Report:A good turn out today - all arriving promptly, ie ride leader alone in car park, just 10 mins before "kick off" and wondering....Seriously though, set off at a good pace, with the ride leader probably (inadvertently) stretching the 1* pace a little, so at times was 2* pace. Everybody seemed comfortable with this, as it was a fairly flat ride throughout. I overshot a turn, but realised immediately - well I was just testing everybody's reactions! Weather fairly warm although the forecast sunshine did not really materialise until late in the ride. Two riders, Steve & Lorna, left us early taking a different route back (& nearly confusing some of the others as to where to turn, no doubt influenced by the ride leader's earlier "faux pas"  , with the the remaining 11 carrying on to the tea stop at Millets, and, yes we sat outside(!)Two went on to get back, so nine of us then had a steady ride back via Fyfield Wick & West Hanney. Well done all for a good 1.5* ride! | ||
