|---|
Leader:John Talbot |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:Northmoor Village Hall |
Description:110km cycling event starting from Northmoor, W of Oxford. Controls at CHIPPING NORTON and UFFINGTON.A modest excursion into the Cotswold hills followed by a gentle wander through the watery lanes of the upper Thames, the Evenlode and the Windrush. This won't be a led ride but there's nothing stopping a group of CTC Wantage riders riding together! You must enter the event by 11th April. Note that audax can fill up before the cut off date so get your entry in as early as possible. Further Details and Entry |

Riders:Andy PixtonBarry Gills Chris Walters David Smith Hugo Pile John Talbot John Tranter Katherine Boyce Louis Hall Nick Dunton Nicole Pethybridge Richard Pethybridge Ursula Hallam Riders = 13 Weather:  Report:Excellent showing from CTC Wantage with thirteen entrants. As is usual with audax people formed into groups depending on pace. Some rode solo, some in pairs, some in larger groups.Several riders also extended their rides with rides to and from home. A chilly start but a lovely tailwind to Chippy. The hilliest section follows a usually brief stop at the leisure centre. A brutal headwind manifested itself near Yelford, Aston and Buckland. This turned the section to Fernham into a very hard slog. Uffington control came as very welcome relief for refuelling and a rest. The tailwind back to Northmoor was exceptional though, barely pedalling at times! Barry had a rear mech incident which meant he had to limp home towards the end of the ride on his now single speed bike! Well done everyone. It's a very friendly, well organised ride by the Harlequin Club and a lovely route to boot! | ||
