Leader:Roger Postbeschild |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. 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.A long loop around the Vale designed to (hopefully) avoid flooding, hills and standing water as much as possible. Approx 31 miles, with some options in case of floods. Coffee stop towards the end at the Cantorist in Childrey. |

Riders:Barry StantonChris Marchant David Jackson Des Higgs John Groves Julie Haynes Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Riders = 10 Weather:  Report:I took this ride on for JT as he was unable to lead.The route was amended from the original, due to strategically placed floods making it untenable. Knowing that the Denchworth Road from Hanney can flood, I scoped it out before the ride, the level was well down in the ditches. Needless to say, things had changed by this morning and it was rather wet. Yours truly, shod in waterproof winter boots, was fine. Others, unfortunately, were subjected to soggy feet for the rest of the ride. Apologies! There were a couple of requests for a ride at the easier end of the distance. Not only did I manage this (44km) but I also missed out the proposed climb of Fawler Hill! The route itself was not so much planned, as happened. The cafe stop was changed to Stanford. We arrived at Stanford Church at 10.56 which all fitted in rather well for an alfresco observance of the Armistice Day two minutes silence. I should perhaps have claimed that this was planned all along.............. Good to see Julie out for an all too rare appearance and Steve made it round on his dodgy knee. A result all round! Further coffee was enjoyed back at Munchies by the majority of the riders. | ||
