Tuesday 1* Evening Ride | 1* |

Leader:Steve Swanton |
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.Sun14 Aug: Slight change of plan as I understand the Garford road is closed for resurfacing . So we'll head to East Hanney instead. An essentially flat ride across the vale, but we'll start off using the recently re-opened track out of Grove to the new Cow Lane railway bridge en route to West Hanney. This used to be a regular route for club rides in our early days but fell out of favour due to deepening ruts, mud and hardcore! However, it has been wonderfully improved by Railtrack as part of the works to install the new bridge. The track is a little stony in one or two places but easily manageable on all but the narrowest-rimmed road bikes. We'll continue to East Hanney and explore some hidden corners of the village. We'll return to Grove via West Hanney and Denchworth, a round trip of about 11 miles. |
