| Saturday afternoon ride from Grove | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Glen Savegar |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Monthly afternoon ride, with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly, but might be a struggle for new or irregular riders in winter months.Fancy a break from the Christmas TV repeats and Quality Street tin? How about exploring the quiet lanes of the vale for a couple of hours, with an (optional) end of ride tea stop in Wantage? OMH, Denchworth, Charney Bassett, Hatford, Shellingford, Fernham, Uffington, Kingston Lisle, Westcot, Sparsholt, Childrey, Letcombe Bassett, Letcombe Regis, Wantage (Tea), OMH. A couple of hills, but taken at a pace to suit all, with time to pause and enjoy the surroundings. Decent lights are essential at this time of year, and may be required for the final few kms. Approx 24.5 miles (39.5 km). |

Report:Just the three of us today, but a fine couple of hours on the bike nonetheless !Starting off into a raw northerly wind accompanied by an icy shower, quickly replaced by winter sunshine with lovely views across the vale, and a good steady pace on very quiet lanes ! Not surprisingly none of us were too bothered about skipping the mandatory CTC tea stop, and more than happy to burn a few extra Christmas calories...  Glen S | ||
