Leader:John Tranter |
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.Heading east this week, on the bike tracks around Charlton across to Ginge and then cutting through to East Hendred. A cunning track back across to West Hendred, and then (surface permitting) across the Ginge Gorge to Ardington. From there we retrace our steps home. 13 miles, but no hills to speak of. |

Report:Pretty miserable drizzle resulted in a small turnout, which in turn resulted in a change of plan and route. We opted to tag onto the 2* ride (thanks, Jon!) and enjoyed their company in a north Vale loop.As we approached Denchworth, we left that ride and headed back to Grove. Unfortunately it was at that moment that the mildly annoying light drizzle evolved into fairly serious downpour. At least it was warm rain! A good stretch for 1* and an enjoyable evening despite the weather. | ||
