| Easy Saturday afternoon ride from Grove | 1* |
|---|
Leader:Steve Boreham |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:*Please note start time of 1pm, (may previously been put as 2pm), in light of the shortening daylight.Monthly 16-32km (10-20 miles) family and social afternoon rides, usually with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph). Occasional short or gentle climbs. Today we will head north, via Denchworth, Lyford, and Fyfield, before curling back to Longworth and descending to a pit stop at the Lamb & Flag*, before returning via Charney Bassett. *Please bring food refreshments if wanted, as it is likely that the pub only provides drinks (They do coffee & tea etc) |

Report:What a lovely relaxed ride!A nice select little group of five of us, set out, armed with layers, although it was not too long before layers were shed as the weather still very mild - that lovely time of year when we no longer expect good weather but sometimes get it.... and the rain held off. A good pace was set on what was a fairly flat ride - of the climbs - three I think - two of them were for bridges! A lovely laid back tea stop (eg some of the "tea" was amber in colour and came in pints..) was had at the Lamb & Flag, before the "descent" towards Charney Bassett (OK a slight down hill but enough to enjoy!) then back at Grove before 4pm. Enjoyed today - thanks all for your company. | ||
