Leader:Diana Whidborne |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:This is a pre-bookable ride. Please book your place by texting the ride leader no sooner than the Wednesday before the ride (don't forget to include your name). Tonight is our monthly Pub Night with an optional stop at the Fox Inn, Denchworth towards the end of the ride.Our leisurely and sociable Tuesday evening 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 10-15 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. |

Report:Just 3 of us on the 1* this evening for a figure of 6 loop out to Denchworth, Lyford and West Hanney. With a small group and familiar route, Michael took the opportunity to lead, which went very well - setting a steady 1* pace with regular stops in each of the villages. Centre of attention at our stop in Lyford was Di's new ebike conversion. On return to Grove, we cycled down to Vale Avenue to admire the wonderful display of tulips before going our separate ways. After the ride, Steve returned to Denchworth to join riders from the other groups for a convivial pint and meal at the Fox. Thanks everyone for a thoroughly enjoyable evening and to Michael for leading. | ||
