Tuesday Evening 1* Ride & Pub Night 1*
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
6:30 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
A ride to Southmoor out via Lyford returning via Charney Bassett (14 miles). There will be optional stop at the Fox in Denchworth towards the end of the ride.

Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. 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 (16-24km) at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph (13-16kph), 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:
At last a dry Tuesday evening, although it was a little on the cool side. And a great turnout with 11 riders: Tuesday debuts for Angie and Alan and a warm welcome to Karen and Adrian on their first rides with us. We split into two groups and my thanks to Michael for leading the second.
This is one of our longer 1* evening routes and we took it steadily stopping occasionally for a rest and a natter: by the walnut tree in Denchworth, the almshouses in Lyford and, by the shops in Southmoor. It's quite a long but gentle climb up to Southmoor and the reward was the long gentle descent back to Charney Bassett.
We returned to Denchworth around 8pm. While Di led a small group home, 7 of us joined other club members for a convivial meal and/or drink at the Fox.
A thoroughly enjoyable evening and thanks to all for good company.
