Start Time:6:30 pm |

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).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:In what was my first ride lead for a while, a select little threesome.Warm welcome to Hilary, who has recently joined us. A nice amble out through Charlton, keeping a beedy eye out for rain showers - some drops but fortunately never really materialised into a full shower. On picking up the Sustrans route, we descended towards Lockinge, lamenting the loss of the wonderful trees that gave a lovely tree-lined avenue. On past "Best Mate" and the Rhino, before enjoying the lovely views before descending in to Ardington. From Ardington, it was decided - due to the mixed weather - rain threatening again and turning cool - to cut back via the "former" tree- lined avenue, for a shorter route home. None of us too sorry we did this as the open road past Lains Barn in the rain had lost its appeal.... Still managed 9.4 miles though.... Thanks both for a lovely ride! | ||
