Description:This week across the club we have the first of our series of Bridging Rides designed to help those who would like to progress to the next riding level on a Tuesday evening. So our ride this week will be at the hillier end of the 1* range, designed to practice our climbing skills. This will be a followed by an easier 2* ride next week for those who would like to give 2* a try.This ride goes around Wantage and out to the twin villages of Letcombe Regis and Letcombe Bassett. Then there is a little hill before we swoop down to Childrey, past the duck pond and then more descending to Goosey and home. 14 miles at our usual leisurely pace. 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. |

Riders:Andrew ThorntonDiana Whidborne Douglas Gunn John Tranter Kirsty Gunn Lorna Swanton Martyn Wigmore Michael Tayler Steve Boreham Thiyanga Kotecha Riders = 10 Weather: Report:Plenty of brave souls willing to stretch themselves a little beyond the usual 1* schedule. Also - pretty nice weather which only got nicer as the evening went on.Welcome to Andrew on his first ride with us. A few silly motorists made the first couple of miles around Wantage a little stressful, but once we on the lanes through the Letcombes all was peaceful and very pleasant. The group stayed together well and the climb of Holborn Hill didn't seem to present too many difficulties. We enjoyed the swoop down through Childey and soon found ourselves heading home in a low sun. Thanks to all for a lovely evening! | ||
