| Regular Wantage Ride | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Jo Little |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing almost inevitable. All-day touring ride (80-100km / 50-65 miles), lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing almost inevitable.This ride will head from Wantage along the A417 to Childrey, then past Baulking and Fernham and through Watchfield and Highworth before heading out towards roads unknown (by me) going past Kempsford, Paulton and Quenington before stopping for lunch at Lechlade garden centre (62km/38 miles). We then head back on a well known route via Littleworth, Hatford and Stanford , Denchworth and then back to Wantage. 95km/59 miles but a fairly flat (538m elevation) route. Please note: this route has been changed slightly since originally put on here. We are now cutting off Quenington as it was very flooded when I did my test ride there at the weekend. The distance is now 59 miles, so not much change. |

Riders:Eddie LittleJenny Gower Jo Little Joy Arthur Karl Blake Lisa Footner Nicole Pethybridge Richard Pethybridge Roger Postbeschild Terry Penn Riders = 10 Weather:  Report:It was a very cold start to the day (and it didn't warm up all that much either) but we still had a good sized group to start the ride. The floods had vanished from the roads, which made cycling a lot more enjoyable, however many of the fields were still underwater.We visited some new villages and roads that people hadn't been through before, which made a welcome change - Fairford was especially scenic. The lunch stop at Lechlade garden centre was very welcome and very efficient. The last 20 miles went past quickly and we were soon back in Wantage. A longish ride for this time of year. Thank you to everyone for being such a good humoured group to lead. | ||
