WOMEN'S TOUR SPECIAL - ride to meet the race 2*
Leader:
Jon Townsin
Start Time:
11:00 am
Start Location:
WMP
Description:
A special ride designed to get us to Wantage Market Place in time to watch the Women's Tour head through on their way from Chipping Norton to Oxford.

We'll start and end our ride in Wantage so the Women's Tour will be the finale ! A 40 km ride taking in some of the route that will be used - but in reverse order - and aiming for a viewing stop at the Market Place.

Text to let me know you'd like to join so I can manage numbers, thanks.

Half day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Might be a struggle for new or irregular riders in winter months.
Riders:
Barry Stanton
Des Higgs
Gerry Jones
John Tranter
Jon Townsin
Karen Townsin
Karl Blake
Riders = 7

Weather:
sunny intervals
Report:
A nice 40km ride out along familiar lanes that got us back to Wantage market place in good time to grab a bit of refreshment before the motor cycles heralded the riders coming through.
A brisk westerly wind made the last few kilometres from Denchworth a bit more work but generally a great day to be out!
Distance:
40.00 km (24.85 mi)
