Tuesday 1* Evening Ride - cancelled | 1* |
---|
Leader:Karen Townsin |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:4:00 pm UPDATETonight's 1* ride is CANCELLED due to the high winds and rain. 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. *** Tuesday 07:30 ***** UPDATE****** The weather tonight is looking foul. High speed and gusty winds with heavy rain. Please check here or on Facebook for a 16:00 update. ***************************************************** This is a bridging ride at the upper level of the range to allow riders to gauge their pace and gain confidence to step up to the next star level. So, with that in mind, tonight we'll tackle Holborn Hill. We ride from Grove to Wantage and after a very short section on the B4507, we'll quickly turn off onto quieter lanes that take us through Letcombe Regis and Letcombe Bassett. We'll then climb the hill, steep but quite short, before a rewarding descent into Childrey. Then it's back along familiar roads with a very short stretch on the A417, through Goosey, Denchworth and home. A ride of 14 miles and manageable for all. We'll take the hill really steadily and recover at the top for as long as we need. |
