| Tuesday Evening 2* Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:This week we will enjoy some of the hidden and beautiful villages to the east of Wantage. From Grove to Wantage on the bike track, through Charlton and then the track to Lockinge and across to Ginge. We will then find a secret route from West to East Hendred, before taking Featherbed Lane to Steventon. Then we cross Cow Common to the Hanneys, Denchworth and home!All the tracks are suitable for all bikes. About 20 miles, with the added bonus of one fun downhill and no discernible uphill. How does that work? |

Riders:Brian HipwellCharlotte Styles Des Higgs Edith Hipwell Fiona Ashby Isabelle Barber John Tranter Mark Austin Maurice Bawden Steve Boreham Steve Joyce Steve Swanton Val Smith Vyvyan Hazell Riders = 14 Weather: Report:A big group, with quite a few challenging themselves with a first 2* ride.Lovely weather - pretty much the perfect evening for a bike ride. The route worked out largely fine, although it could be argued that the track between the Hendreds was less than smooth. Apparently Maurice didn't fall off, he fell with. This is an important distinction... Great company and a good fun ride! | ||

Many thanks for a great ride! Perfect for a newbie 2* rider. I don't understand how you manage to plan the with apparently more downhills than uphills - but I'm all in favour! It was a great evening for a fabulous ride - more like that please! See you next week. |
