| Saturday Afternoon Ride from Grove | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Karen Townsin |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Monthly 45-55km (30-40 miles) afternoon ride, with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Might be a struggle for new or irregular riders in winter months. The plan is to follow the route of the Childrey Spring Classic, taking in the quiet, flat lanes of the North and West of the area, before heading back via the spring line and the villages of Sparsholt, Goosey and Denchworth.There is one sharp climb at Compton Beauchamp, but it's short enough to walk up if you want to. Tea will be at Britchcombe Farm. |

The ride progressed pretty much as planned, with the scouts staying up on the hill and giving us a clear run at the Teapot at Britchcombe Farm. Thanks everyone for a sociable, enjoyable ride.  | ||
