| Saturday Afternoon Ride from Grove | 3* |
|---|
Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Monthly 60-70km (38-45 miles) afternoon ride, with a tea stop, riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). Likely to visit distant destinations. Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing likely. A nice loop to the north west of our patch, using a few elements of last Saturday's 2* ride but ramping things up a bit! Out through the Vale to Uffington, across to Fernham, over the little ridge to the Coxwells, then the dramatic cut through from idyllic Coleshill down into the Thames Valley almost to Lechlade before taking the tiny lanes across to Clanfield. Tea stop either in Bampton or at Aston Pottery and then the usual route home including the tasty little climb of Buckland Hill.Around 40 miles at a good 3* pace. |

Riders:Alan GaleChris Walters David Bridge David Talboys Des Higgs John Tranter Katherine Boyce Marcus Garman Phil Ward Riders = 9 Weather:   Report:Weather forecasts for the day ranged from grey and miserable through to snow. In the event, we had a fair bit of sunshine, a niggly (and very cold) northerly wind and an exciting 5 minute hail storm!A good group assembled and stayed together very well for the whole ride, joined by Phil after an heroic effort to catch us up. Thanks to Des, our resident local cake expert, we discovered another really good coffee stop - the cafe at Bampton Garden Plants. A tailwind home was just what we needed, particularly up Buckland Hill. Thanks to all for your company - a nice ride! | ||
