Leader:Steve Boreham |
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.We will head out via Charlton, then take Route 44 to Lockinge, before moving on to Ginge. Then a climb as we head to West Hendred, being rewarded by the downhill into the village. This followed by a short stretch on A417 to Ardington, then over the bump and down past Lains Barn and back to Grove. Round trip of about 12 miles, with sunshine ordered..... Route changed, on the night to the ride route from 27th June. |

Report:Very select little group tonight, despite the weather, so this time, the consensus was for a "very gentle potter", so we adopted the route from last week, which had no takers due to the weather, and headed out via Denchworth and Charney Bassett, Gainfield and up to Pusey, before a cheeky little cut through via the estate, using bridleway, back towards Charney Bassett, then via Lyford, and Denchworth.A lovely flat ride (in contrast to the other rides' "hill" themes), in glorious sunshine and just the right temperature. Thank you Carin & Lorna for you company on an enjoyable ride. Oh, one thing, the sunshine was ordered and it actually came(!) | ||
