Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Weekly 1 - 1.5 hours rides at a riding pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph). Not likely to be hilly. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride.This week, amble to Stanford in the Vale. Out via Denchworth, (resisting the temptation to go straight to the pub..), Charney Bassett, Gainfield, Stanford, and back via Park Lane & Asti Stud to the Fox for liquid refreshment for those who want to stop, before heading back to Grove. |

Report:A welcome dry evening for the Tuesday rides (and we avoided the shower that hit Grove while we were out).Our small 1* group has been progressing nicely, and at their request rode at a pace of about 11mph. We stopped briefly by the church in Charney Bassett before continuing on to Gainfield, where an aerial dogfight between a red kite and a jackdaw caught our attention. As the evening seemed to be turning colder, we rested only briefly in Stanford before continuing along Park Lane and back to Denchworth via Asti Stud. First group at the very busy Fox, we found the garden full of folk musicians and dancers in old-fashioned dress. Quite a spectacle! We bagged the settee by the bar and were joined by Barbara's family and Lorna for a drink and a meal, before the other groups arrived. Another enjoyable evening. | ||
Distance:22.53 km (14.00 mi) | ||
