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! 16 miles / 26km |
