Leader:Steve Boreham |
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 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:Small turnout for tonight - may be that holiday season affects the numbers(!).The "billed" ride for tonight would have meant passing the pub early on, but having to double back..... Well - you cannot dangle a carrot tantalisingly out of reach, so a cunning little "reverse" of the route was the order, so that the pub was timed more sensibly.. Then - throwing in a short cut "at the start" for a change - meant we arrived at the pub even sooner. Very pleasant skirting Wantage - to East Challow and across the top to Childrey on what was a glorious evening. Paused by the Childrey pond, or should we say "ditch" as not much water around, before curling down via West Challow and across to Denchworth for that watering hole - enjoying drinks or meal as chosen, where we were joined by others. Thanks all for a lovely ride. | ||
