| 2* Saturday Half Day Ride - Oxford Special | 2* |
|---|
Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:9:00 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:As a courtesy to the ride leader, we ask that you pre-book for this ride. 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. This is a pre-bookable ride. To book a place, text your name to the ride leader no earlier than 9:00am on the Sunday before the ride. You will receive confirmation or be advised that the ride is fully booked. A reserve list will be maintained.This is a route into and out of the centre of Oxford which we haven't used for a few years. Nice, easy pace through Charney Bassett, Appleton and Cumnor, down the hill to Botley. Then the cunning car-free entry to Oxford via bike tracks and beautiful river sides (suitable for all bikes). After a short sightseeing loop, we take the river path to Iffley, Kennington and back via Sunningwell and Fyfield. Coffee and cake stop at the new Proof Social Bakehouse in Kennington. 40 miles - a longer 2* ride, but easy terrain and an easy pace. Don't miss this one! |

Report:A perfect autumnal morning, glorious sunshine, not much wind - basically perfect conditions for a ride to Oxford. A good group kept together well and all went according to plan. The Proof Social Bakehouse is unusually located on an industrial estate but served great coffee and cakes.Particularly nice to be down on the river watching newly arrived students being put through their paces by the College rowing coaches. Thanks to all for a fun ride. | ||
