10 Mile Club 1* | 1* |
---|
Leader:Sara Ward |
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. Planning to take a delightful 11 mile route for this late May ride - the Hanney Explorer. We will leave Grove on the cycle track along the brook and over the railway to Denchworth for a loop through both the Hanneys. The return leg follows a track rather than the road and there will be plenty of opportunities to soak up the views throughout. Here's hoping for a balmy evening! |

Good light and company for touring the countryside and the added amusement of a deer taking the lead for a few hundred meters as we left Denchworth.Our exploratory route delivered its promise; several points of interest including two mills and an Archimedes screw. Mandy headed back for supper duty , while others went on to enjoy the track on the return leg. A warm welcome to Christine and Gus on their first outing and thanks to Lorna for stewardship from the back of the group. | ||
