| Monthly 1* Saturday Half-Day Ride | 1* |
|---|
Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Update 15/12 - It's looking as if the temperature will reach a balmy 4 degrees by lunchtime on Saturday, so the ride is ON! As trailed previously we'll make an essentially flat tour of the Vale of about 14 miles. We should be back in Grove before 3pm for mulled wine and mince pies at ours. Do wrap up and bring lights if cycling home after refreshments. If you don't fancy the ride but would like to join us just for refreshments, please get in touch.Family and social afternoon ride (16-32km / 10-20 miles), usually with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph). Occasional short or gentle climbs. Or the Mini Mince Pie Ride! 11/12 - It's slightly too early to tell when the cold snap will end, but if conditions improve sufficiently for a 1* ride we'll take a tour of the Vale with a tea stop at ours in Grove at the end. We'll have some of the unconsumed goodies from Sunday to share in aid of Whizz-Kidz. Watch this space for further details. Fingers crossed! Please let me know if you are thinking of coming to help us gauge numbers. You can email me on steve.swanton@cyclingukwantage.org.uk or text on 07857 527990. |

Report:Just 4 of us for our last Saturday 1* of the year but it was good to get out again after the big chill all week. The temperature had passed 5 degrees by the time we set off and the roads were at last clear of frost (apart from the low bridge over Childrey Brook at Denchworth). We rode at a slightly faster than 1* pace to keep warm, although a few stops were needed to clear runny noses. We followed the route as planned and were back in Grove by 2:30. Susan walked over from Wantage to join us for mince pies and mulled wine. A convivial afternoon. | ||
