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. Tonight we will ride through the Letcombes and climb to the top of Holborn Hill before a lovely descent into Childrey. We then follow a well surfaced bridleway to West Challow, then on to Denchworth and Grove.The climb is steepish but short enough to walk up. |

Riders:Clare MacPhersonKaren Townsin Mandy Wassell Naomi Merritt Nicky Clark Sheena Arnold Steve Boreham Riders = 7 Weather:  Report:What a gorgeous evening. We were all stunned by the heat and undeterred by the possibility of thundery showers - well, if it rained it would be warm rain wouldn't it?After an unexpected tour of the Wantage Leisure Centre car park, we found the track to Letcombe Regis and on to Letcombe Bassett. Everyone made a valiant attempt at Holborn Hill, a welcome brief shower cooling us before the well earned descent into Childrey. The bridleway towards Challow was lined in cow parsley with not too many nettles but the surprise of the evening was a passing traction engine on the way home to Grove. Welcome back to Mandy on her first ride of the season. A great social ride with good company. Thanks everyone  | ||
