Tuesday Evening 2* Ride 2*
Leader:
Des Higgs
Start Time:
6:30 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:

Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly.

***BRIDGING RIDE***
This is the second of our Bridging Ride series designed to help those who would like to progress to the next level of cycling. As such it will be ridden at the lower end of the pace range.

Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph).

We are going to use a classic loop around the north of the Vale - one we used in the standard 2* programme at the beginning of the season. We go out through Denchworth to West Hanney, up the lovely smooth tarmac to Southmoor, and then the gentle drop to Charney Bassett. A final loop by Asti Stud gets us back to Denchworth and the railway bridge road back to Grove.

A great chance for 1* riders to step up a little. The ride is dead flat so we will just tweak the average speed up a bit and see how we get on. But - no-one will be left behind, so no need to worry!

Report:
A good group of riders who all stayed within vision of my rear view mirror.

We stopped a couple of times for a drink and a natter. I will own up to upping the speed a bit for the last few Ks but nobody complained.

Welcome to JESS LODGE first time with Wantage and only her second ride on the road - hope to see you again soon. Well done everyone, and special thanks to super sweep Karl!
