Leader:Steve Boreham |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Tonight we will go via Charlton and take Route 44 to Lockinge, over the hill and down to Ardington. From there it is over the A417 and past Lains Barn. Here we have a short stretch on the A338 to reach East Hanney, before West Hanney and Denchworth (Pub! for those who would like to stop) before returning to Grove.Total trip around 13 miles. 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. Optional social stop at The Fox at Denchworth at the end of the ride. |

Report:A select little group of four of us - that is, after the leader arrived, having been delayed(!) my apologies.A very warm welcome to Gemma on her first ride with us. Your humble leader's duty was very ably assisted by Martyn, not least with some gems of local knowledge along the way, plus selecting a road down from Lockinge to Ardington that I had not been along before! It shaved a little off the anticipated route, enabling us to detour a bit in Ardington, to point out the good local pub! A nice decent past Lains Barn, (I note that the 2star ride did the ascent past Lains Barn, so we had the better deal.....), then Carin left us, and met us at the pub. We three continued on via the Hanneys, with two of us stopping at the pub to meet up with the other groups, taking in the essential post ride booze & grub. Nice way to finish. See you next time! | ||
