| WOMEN'S TOUR SPECIAL - Easy Ride | 1* |
|---|
Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:2:00 pm |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:Inspired by the Women's Tour of Britain which passed through Wantage the day before, this is a leisurely bike ride from Wantage suitable for families, newcomers to cycling or those who prefer a relaxed, sociable ride. A chance to ride with a group and discover some of the local cycle routes on our doorstep.We'll follow a back cycling route out of town to East Challow and then the bridleway to Childrey, which has great views to the Downs and across the Vale. From Childrey, we'll drop into the Vale (with a short stretch along the A338 ) to Goosey with its large village green. We'll continue along quiet lanes to Denchworth and Grove, then pick-up the cyclepath along the A338 and use back roads through Charlton to bring us back to the Market Place. A total distance of 25km (15 miles), taken at a gentle pace (10 mph), stopping to take in the views and points of interest along the way. Optional refreshment stop in Wantage at the end of the ride (but please bring a drink with you). Please let me know by text if you would like to come. Suitable for children 8+ who are confident in riding on the road, accompanied by a parent. |

Report:I'd had no expressions of interest (knowing that most of our regular 1* riders were otherwise engaged), but not wanting to miss the opportunity for a ride, I ventured into the Market Place just in case. No one showed by 2pm, so I followed the route, as planned, on my own. Nice to be out on a pleasant if breezy afternoon, despite the lack of company. | ||
