| 2* Sunday Half Day Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:RIDE MOVED TO SUNDAY due to the poor weather forecast for Saturday. There are places available if anyone else would like to join us.Half day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Might be a struggle for new or irregular riders in winter months. As a courtesy to the ride leader, we ask that you pre-book for this ride. Please text the ride leader to book your place. It is a while since we headed South on a Saturday 2*, so a chance to stretch our climbing legs and take advantage of summer fitness with a ride down to the Kennett valley. We'll head out through the Letcombes and Lambourn before taking the quiet back lanes from Eastbury through Woodlands St Mary to Hungerford. After a coffee stop at Honesty Cafe, we'll cross Hungerford common and continue along the Kennett valley through Kintbury to Hamstead Marshall. We'll recross the Kennett and canal at Marsh Benham and then wiggle our way through quiet lanes to Boxford. This will bring us back over the Downs the easy way, via Leckhampstead and Brightwalton before the final glorious descent of Chain Hill. At 42 miles, this is a slightly longer and hillier than usual Saturday 2* route but all at a steady 2* pace, regrouping regularly to catch our breath and enjoy the views. Don't miss! |
