Tuesday evening 1* Ride B | 1* |
---|
Leader:Lorna Swanton |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Our leisurely and sociable 10-mile club 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.Please be aware that it can get quite chilly in the lanes in the before sunset, so do bring an extra layer and gloves to keep warm. While we aim to be back to Grove before dusk, lights may be required for your ride home afterwards. |

Report:The main 1* ride was fully booked, so Di and I arranged to meet informally and set off at 6.15. But for club statistics, it's now Ride B. Carin joined us for a leisurely ride and chat, following Martyn's route. Our detour to West Hanney church and long pause there meant that the main ride arrived back before us! Notable sights along the way were: a hare loping by the road to Lyford, Kathryn's group speeding past us shortly after that, and lots of beautiful blossom. A few spots of rain, but we were back at Old Mill Hall before it came down more heavily. | ||
Distance:17.70 km (11.00 mi) | ||
