This week, we will head North to Longworth via Lyford in an anti-clockwise loop around the vale and back to Denchworth in time for (optional) supper at The Fox. There will be a short stretch on both A420 and A417 so riding in groups of no more than 4 please. Anyone not stopping at the Fox will need to make their own way back to Grove.
Riders: Des Higgs Jane John Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Karl Blake Lisa Footner Tony Clark Riders = 7 Weather: Report: A very peaceful and uneventful trip around the Vale ! We welcomed new rider Lisa to the ride, which cruised along at a speed at the top end of 2*. Road works at Denchworth didn't deter the trip via Lyford and up to Southmoor but the track leading to the bridge over the A420 was cunningly concealed from the ride leader (!). No damage 0- just a red face! Some new roads for some and forgotten roads for others meant that this was a very enjoyable ride and we met up with other riders for a sociable bite at the Fox. No rain Thanks to Karen for sweeping and to Jane for buddying up with Lisa.
Distance: 31.00 km (19.26 mi)
