Leader:John Tranter |
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. Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly.It's amazing how different a ride feels when you do it in reverse. So we are going to apply this principle to a classic ride to the east. We go out via Denchworth and Hanney, across the Cow Common road to Steventon, up the hill-ette of Steventon Hill, down Featherbed Lane to East Hendred and then across to Ginge. We trace the back lanes and tracks back to Wantage and then get to Grove along the A338 bike track. Lovely countryside, lovely villages and generally a nice route. About 19 miles at our usual mellow 2* pace. |

Riders:Clare HazellDavid Jackson Des Higgs Jan McCabe John Tranter Jon Townsin Julie Haynes Karen Townsin Michael Tayler Mike Bailey Natalie Lower Olivia Pile Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Steve Joyce Susie Turnbull Riders = 16 Weather: Report:The weather looked a little threatening, but in the end we had a pretty much perfect evening. It was nice to be a little cooler!A big group meant we split into two from the start - thanks to Jon and Karen for leading the second group. Basically, it was just a nice, mellow ride. This way around seems hillier - perhaps because the ups are steeper and the downs are shallower. In any event, thanks to all for your company and making it such a fun evening. | ||
