Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Our leisurely and sociable 10-mile club rides are designed specifically with adult newcomers to cycling and youngsters in mind, or those who just want some relaxed and sociable exercise.We cover a distance of about 10 miles at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph, following quiet country lanes and the occasional easy off-road track. We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way. Newcomers and returnees to cycling, and accompanied children very welcome. Tonight will be a flat ride in the Vale visiting Lyford and Charney Bassett - a round trip of about 11 miles. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride. |

Report:A select group on the 1* this evening. Susan was enjoying riding her new bike. We followed the route as planned through Denchworth to Lyford, left at the T then right towards Southmoor and on over the Ock bridge before turning left at the next cross-roads back towards Charney Bassett. Despite the threatening skies it remained dry, but it was cool and not an evening for long stops.We rode at a slightly higher pace than a usual 1* and as everyone was enjoying it, we took in the Goosey/Asti stud loop en route to the pub. While Susan carried on home, the rest of us settled into the comfy chairs in the bar and waited for the other groups... a good sociable pub night followed. | ||
