Leader:Jon Townsin |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). May be hilly.This week we're heading out west via Goosey, Hatford and Shellingford to enjoy the show of Hawthorn trees north of Compton Beachamp (they ere a little disappointing on the trial ride!). Back via Uffington and Denchworth. The short climb up to Knighton is the only respite from the otherwise pan flat Vale  The distance of 45k over fairly flat terrain should get us back to OMH before 8.30 pm. |

Riders:Adrian WestBarry Stanton David Talboys Des Higgs Eddie Little Jan McCabe Jane John John Groves Jon Townsin Joy Arthur Karl Blake Mike Cooke Ursula Hallam Riders = 13 Weather: Report:An absolutely beautiful evening to go cycling in the Vale ! An evenly matched group set off at a mid - upper 3* pace to cover the 46 kilometres in good time. Traffic was scarce and the roads were enjoyably quiet. Sadly scarce also was the hawthorn showing north of Compton Beachamp Adrian and Des had cycled to the start from home so peeled off mid-ride (but not before the only climb of the evening !). Karl suffered a puncture on the way down from Knighton, which meant we could all enjoy the lovely evening and the pleasant company of the cows! We picked up the pace on the second half of the ride and everyone seemed to manage the increase with Jane heading the group down the homeward (Denchworth) stretch  .We got back a little later than planned at 8.45 after a very pleasant ride indeed. Thanks to all for enjoying it with me and thanks to Dave for sweeping. | ||

Thanks for a great ride Jon. Many thanks to Des for lending me a inner tube after my spare tube failed. 😁 |
