Tuesday Evening 2* Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly.I hope this isn't cheating, but I realised we hadn't done Hackpen since June, and everyone seemed to like going down Blowingstone, so a repeat route: Through the Letcombes and up our favourite pair of little hills: Holborn and Hackpen. Then we carry on down the other side towards Lambourn, take a right back over Seven Barrows, down (mercifully, down) Blowingstone Hill, then also down Kingston Lisle Hill and via Goosey and Denchworth home. NB: please bring lights as the nights are drawing in. |

A good gallop up the hills and a good pace throughout.Thanks to all for a lovely ride! | ||

Great ride John. A bit of everything - climbing, descending and lovely evening light to finish in. |
