| CTC Wallingford Cycle Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:1:30 pm |
Start Location:Wallingford Market Place |
Description:There is a new CTC group in Wallingford! To celebrate and mark the event, why not join us for an easy-paced sociable afternoon ride from Wallingford into the Vale with a tea and cake stop at Q-gardens, Milton Hill.The ride will start from Wallingford Market Place, just outside the Tourist Information Centre, promptly at 1:30pm. We'll head out via South Moreton and Aston Tirrold to the Hagbournes and Harwell village. After tea, we'll enjoy the descent of Steventon Hill and return to Wallingford via Drayton, Sutton Courtenay, the Wittenhams and Brightwell. There are a few climbs, but nothing too long or steep; some eay off-road, all taken at a sociable rather than sporty pace, about 11-12mph on the flat. (Thanks to CTC Wantage for hosting this page while the CTC Oxfordshire website is being redeveloped. There will be a CTC Wallingford website coming soon.) |

Riders:Brian HipwellChloe Tucker Guy Yeates Kerry Tucker Robin Tucker Ron Cutler Steve Swanton Riders = 7 Weather: Report:Another beautiful day for a ride - that makes it six in a row for the Wallingford rides!16 out today including 5 new riders. We had a perfect mix of men, women, young and old. We followed the route pretty much as planned, although some didn't fancy the off-road section between the Hagbournes and took the road route instead. We sat outside enjoying the sunshine at Q-gardens - hard to believe it was really October. After tea, we enjoyed the fast descent of Steventon hill and then the late afternoon sunshine as we headed back through Drayton, Sutton Courtenay, and recently resurfaced NCN route 5 to Long Wittenham . The one major hill of the day was the climb from Little Wittenham up to the clumps car park. Everyone made it up and we were rewarded with the extensive views over the Vale. Then all too soon it was down to Brightwell and back into Wallingford just after 5pm. Once again a thoroughly sociable and enjoyable ride. Thanks everyone. CTC Wallingford now has its own website at www.ctcwallingford.org.uk and details of forthcoming rides should be appearing there from now on. | ||
