Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Half day ride (60-70km / 38-45 miles), with a tea stop, riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). Likely to visit distant destinations. Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing likely.We will warm up with a loop around the north Vale through Southmoor, before heading across from Hatford to Buckland. We swoop down Buckland Hill (for a change), cross the Thames and then go west through Bampton and Clanfield. We might stop for coffee at the Bampton Garden Centre depending on how we feel. Then on to Faringdon (with more cafe options) before heading back through the west Vale via Coxwell and Uffington. Just over 40 miles with a couple of little hills. Aiming to be back by 1pm. |

Riders:Amanda SeddonDes Higgs Jo Little John Groves John Tranter Joy Arthur Karl Blake Paul Bentley Richard Saunders Roger Postbeschild Susie Turnbull Riders = 11 Weather:  Report:A good willing group gathered to test themselves after varying levels of festivity abuse. In the event, I think everyone was pleasantly surprised by their retained fitness!All went according to plan. The coffee stop at Bampton Garden centre was welcome, although service was painfully slow and a bit inaccurate. The hills back into and through Faringdon were conquered in style and we were rewarded with a tailwind assistance back across the Vale. Thanks to all for good company! | ||
