Leader:Ursula Hallam |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Monthly 45-55km (30-40 miles) afternoon ride, with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Might be a struggle for new or irregular riders in winter months.Last daylight savings time day today so let's make the most of it. Out to Eynsham for a cafe stop. A captcha figure-of-eight route - out via Charney Bassett, Appleton, Cumnor, Farmoor - back via Stanton Harcourt, Northmoor, Southmoor. Expect the full distance ~55km with no real climbing. Please bring lights in case of inclement weather or unexpected delay. |

The very gentle uphill of the Appleton road saw the k's roll by until Cumnor where I was forced to call a puncture pitstop having somehow managed to ride over a drawing pin! Judging by the nattering, no-one seemed to mind and we were soon on our way, tumbling down the hill, tolling over the bridge and onto tea, sitting outside in the sunshine at the Eynsham Emporium. Heading back toward Stanton Harcourt, the headwind ensured we burnt off a few extra rocky road calories, but not unpleasantly so. The busy'ish stretch of road after the Rose Revived, caused the group to split a little before regrouping at the Hinton Waldrist turn. Then it was simply a matter of crossing back over the A420, and cruising down the Hanney road to home. Great group, lovely ride. Thanks to Richard Pb. for sweeping, David B. for the piccies and welcome to Suzie on her first time out with us. | ||
