Description:This is a pre-bookable ride. To book your place please text the ride leader no sooner than the Wednesday before the ride.Our leisurely and sociable Tuesday 1* 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. |

Riders:Carin TranterJoanna Houlston Lorna Swanton Michael Tayler Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Riders = 7 Weather: Report:A lovely evening for a mellow ride (despite the flying ants in the OMH car park) and it was great to have our largest Tuesday 1* group since May. A warm welcome back to Joanna.We followed the route as planned visiting Stockham via the old airfield path, which was new to several riders. We stopped to catch our breath after the hill in East Challow and then enjoyed the panoramic views from the bridleway as we continued on to Childrey. All too soon we were in Sparsholt and turning back. The descent from Childrey on the B4001 to the A417 is always fun and after a short burn down the main road to Goosey we continued more gently back to Denchworth and Grove. Thanks everyone for your company. A joy to lead. | ||
