Downland Village Ride 1*
Leader:
Nick Portsmouth
Start Time:
1:00 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
A 16 mile ride which goes through Charlton Village and then visits the pretty downland villages of East & West Lockinge, East & West Hendred and Ardington, where we'll be stopping for refreshments at The Grocer Chef, before returning to Grove via the 'Lains Barn Road'.
Part of the Sustrans Route 544 that we'll be cycling along in Ginge is off-road but will be okay for the majority of bike tyres. Please bring your lights with you.
Report:
11 of us set off into the murk on the last 1* of the year. Unfortunately after a while 2 had to turn back due to illness (hope you're feeling better Carin). The rest of us carried on passed Best Mate's statue, through Ginge and down into West Hendred before a detour from the advertised route, along the path to East Hendred (this detour was discussed before we set off). After climbing back out of the village, we continued along Route 544, back through Ginge and on to the tea stop at The Grocer Chef. 2 riders had to head back before the stop as they had an appointment on a badminton court and after tea, 1 peeled off for Wantage, leaving 6 of us to ride down past Lains Barn and back to Grove.
Distance:
24.14 km (15.00 mi)
