Leader:Karen Townsin |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Our leisurely and sociable 10-mile club rides are designed specifically with adult newcomers to cycling and youngsters in mind, or those who just want some relaxed and sociable exercise. We cover a distance of about 10 miles at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph, following quiet country lanes and the occasional easy off-road track. We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way.This ride will be at the HIGH end of the grade but still within it. Tonight we'll have a chance to practise using our low gears as we head to the Letcombes. We'll stop to admire the cress beds in Letcombe Bassett before tackling Holborn hill. It's a steep but relatively short hill with great views from the top. We'll then enjoy the descent into Childrey and return to Grove via West Challow (with a short stretch along the A417) and Denchworth. |

Report:A small but select group set off from OMH through Grove and out to the Letcombes via a traffic free route, ready to tackle Holborn Hill. All managed it perfectly and, after admiring the view, set off again to enjoy the decent into Childrey. After saying goodbye to Barbara, we took another bridleway to West Challow, then faced the wind back to Denchworth and Grove.A lovely evening and thanks to everyone for making my first ride leading experience such a pleasure. | ||
